Comic-Con Shares Details For Comic-Con: The Cruise
Comic-Con International is expanding into cruises with Comic-Con: The Cruise, which has been created in a partnership between convention organizers and Royal Caribbean.
The cruise will take place from February 5th to February 9th, 2025, and will feature both guests and attractions that you’d find at a standard comic convention. The cruise itself is an event independent of Comic-Con, International, and is a licensed event using a full-ship charter aboard Royal Caribbean's Serenade of the Seas.
The description for the event reads: "Get ready to set sail on an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime where you will immerse yourself in the world of popular arts like never before. Comic-Con: The Cruise is an official licensee of Comic-Con International and is excited to be part of the Comic-Con brand. This 4-day adventure at sea takes place onboard a luxury cruise ship and fuses the iconic Comic-Con experience with an unforgettable and uniquely fan-focused cruise adventure!"
Rooms start at $990 for the four-day cruise for two guests. Two additional guests are allowed in the smallest rooms for an additional $600. This is a rate that increases depending on which level of room or suite you book and some of them are pretty pricey.
Some of the celebrity guests who have been announced are Warwick Davis, Ernie Hudson, George Takei, Mary McDonnell, Felicia Day, Michael Trucco, and Robb Pearlman. More guests are expected to be announced at a later date.
David Glanzer, spokesperson for the convention said in a statement: "With a stellar reputation for producing fan events on the ocean, we are excited that Entertainment Cruise Productions has developed Comic-Con: The Cruise to be a truly new kind of adventure. The team at ECP shares our passion for transformational events and innovative programming and we are excited they are building something so amazing."
Greg Laubach, Executive Director of Entertainment Cruise Productions added: "Comic-Con is unrivaled in creating a community that brings people together for experiences you can't find anywhere else. It's what we love to do, and we have designed Comic-Con: The Cruise to be a one-of-a-kind ultimate fan adventure."
