Remove ads
Gothic Cruise is a small, annual electronic gothic-styled music festival that host oversea events relative to the goth culture. It has been operated continuously from a variety of ports within the United States of America with live entertainment venues since 2007. It was founded in 1989 by license advisor Zaida Browne, as she was largely to partly active in the early to mid 1980's, which was when the expansion of the style began to rise in countries, mostly the United Kingdom. The group began to widely expand during the early 2000's, but began to dissipate in passengers in between 2004 until it resumed its festivals in 2007. Like many cruises at the time, the yearly tradition was broken in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sailing resumed for 2021 and 2022, however the company opted for a land-based party in 2023 before resuming cruises in 2024.
