Well, Twilight has a national convention so is it surprising that there will now be an Alaskan cruise dedicated to the franchise? Setting sail on August 8, 2010, the Twilight cruise will feature special guests Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz, who play Alice and Emmett Cullen. The cruise is set to depart from Seattle.
Passengers on this special cruise will be treated to guests will be treated to a Q&A session with the stars, a photo shoot, an autograph session, and a costume ball. Given that it is still over a year away, it's possible that more events will be added and maybe another star or two. After all, by then 'New Moon' will be on DVD and it's likely that this second installment will bring some other actors into the spotlight.
Naturally this ride won't come cheap. If any parents feel like splurging on a vacation for their Twilight-obsessed teen (although the cruise itself is an excellent family vacation), it will set you back between $1049 to $3299 per person (depending on your cabin). The ship will sail through Glacier Bay and into Juneau, along with two other ports.
The cruise is being put together by Linda Wolf (no joke!), the owner of Cruises Cruises Cruises, Inc., and self-professed Twilight fan. The cruise is being dubbed the Alaska Twilight Cruise and Convention at Sea. She had hoped to have it set sail this year but given the economic troubles we're all facing she decided to put it on hold until next year, giving fans time to save ahead (and beg and plead with their parents).
