Residents on ‘Indian cruise’
RESIDENTS enjoyed a taste of Bollywood at Sunrise of Bramhall on Dairyground Road, as part of the care home’s Transatlantic Cruise Ship experience.
The scheme aims to bring countries and cultures to the living room of the community and enable residents to have a regular ‘cruise ship’ experience, stopping off at different destinations around the world.
As part of this, every few months a day is designed around a different country, where the cruise ship would stop. The menus, staff outfits and activities and events reflect the destination of the cruise.
This month, the residents’ tour stopped in India. Ria Meera Munshi from RI RI Dance Academy performed and taught the residents some Bollywood moves.
After Ria’s performance, residents, guests and staff enjoyed an Indian feast.
This month’s event follows the Mediterranean one held in March. The next destination on the Sunrise of Bramhall Cruise Ship radar is Hawaii.
Every aspect of Hawaii’s six islands will be reflected on the day and there will be ‘tropical’ entertainment, music and a barbecue in the gardens.
The ship is also set to sail to Scandinavia in October and will stop in Germany in December.
Dawn Williams from Sunrise of Bramhall said: “It was brilliant to see the residents and guests so keen to get involved with the activities.”
