Couldn't get tickets to the Beyoncé Renaissance World Tour? Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises is here to offer up the next best thing: a Bey-themed dance party aboard one of their famous sightseeing boats.
Not a member of the Beyhive? First, we're judging you, and second, the "Cuff It" crooner isn't the only diva getting the dance party treatment from the cruise line. Off the success of its Renaissance-themed dance cruise back in September 2022, the boat-tour company is rolling out a Summer Dance Series from May through August themed around the likes of Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Missy Elliott and, yes, Queen Bey.
Each cruise will feature a seasoned choreographer to teach you signature moves from the pop performers, along with costume contests and themed cocktails while you take in New York's world-famous skyline views.
