The Last Cruise of the SS Destiny

Description

Set aboard the luxurious SS Destiny on its final voyage in 1935, this murder mystery unfolds as the grand ocean liner makes its way across the Atlantic. The art deco splendor and jazz age glamour provide a stunning backdrop for intrigue, jealousy, and murder on the high seas.

Plot

During the ship's last crossing before being decommissioned, the wealthy owner of the cruise line is found dead in the first-class smoking room. With a storm raging outside and the ship's radio mysteriously damaged, the passengers are trapped at sea with a killer among them. Old grudges, family secrets, and questionable business dealings all surface as potential motives. The murderer must be caught before the ship reaches port - or before they strike again.

Dress Code

1930s evening wear is required. Men should wear tuxedos or dark suits with bow ties. Women should wear floor-length evening gowns, preferably with sequins or beading. Art deco jewelry, long gloves, and period-appropriate hairstyles are encouraged. Smoking jackets, nautical accessories, and cruise wear are also appropriate.

Outfit Ideas

Speaking Style

Speak in a refined 1930s manner, avoiding modern slang. Use proper titles (Sir, Madam, etc). Make reference to current events of the era like Prohibition ending and the Great Depression. Wealthy characters should affect slight British accents and mannerisms of the upper class. Staff should be deferential to passengers.
