QOTD: What theme cruise would you host on a famous fictional or historical ship?

Fri, Mar 01, 2013

Theme cruises are all the rage, apparently: at Theme Cruise Finder you’ll discover cruises catering to astronomy lovers, crafters, lovers of music of all kinds, those who want to spend their time at sea talking politics, religion, or investing — that’s just scratching the surface.
What theme cruise would you host on a famous fictional ship?

Murder mystery cruise on the Enterprise? Birdwatching on the Beagle? What famous guest speakers or presenters (real or fictional) would you invite along?

Pack your bags!

…or a very long lunch on the Starship Bistromath.

Carnival should start doing Lord of the Flies-themed cruises, so maybe it will just seem like part of the deal when they lose power and the hallways start filling up with raw sewage.

How about a BDSM convention on the HMS Bounty?
…Diamond cutter’s convention on RSM Titanic?
…illegal immigrant party on Nostromo?
…Windows Geeks Party on Discovery One? (HAL’s ship)

the possibilities go on and on.

(I wouldn’t mind going on the Heart of Gold Bacchanalia Cruise, if we could lock Marvin in a storage unit somewhere)

Maybe a Pineapple Upside-Down Cake baking competition on the Poseidon?

a few years ago at a party we were actually discussing wanting to do a BDSM themed cruise on The Pacific Princess (aka The Love Boat). Not quite what you meant, but it amused us for 15 minutes.
