Cruise to the Vancouver Winter Olympics, then stay on the ship!
This is one of the coolest cruise options I’ve seen in a long time.

A company called New West Special Projects has managed to arrange for Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Star to provide additional “hotel” space during the winter Olympics, to be held in Vancouver, BC, Canada during February 2010.
Packages start at US$2,010 per person for a four-night stay, but just like a regular cruise you can cheaply add a 3rd person in the cabin, starting at $400. And like a cruise, onboard food is included. Packages also include some ground transportation, and the Olympics will be shown on shipboard TV…although I’m unsure whether they’ll feature NBC or Canada’s CTV.
The ship will make this unusual winter sailing into Vancouver from Los Angeles, and you can book the sail-in cruise, too. The sailing date is February 6 from LA, arriving Vancouver February 10. Prices for the sail-in from L.A. start at a very cheap $99, inside cabin.
I personally think we gays should quickly book out the ship and have quite a party!
The ship will dock on North Vancouver for the entire run of the Games, as Vancouver’s normal cruise terminal at Canada Place will be blocked by security.
Too cool. As always, if you book the sailing or to stay aboard during the Vancvouer Winter Olympics, be sure to post it to your MeetMeOnBoard.com profile!
