Travel Tip: Connect with the Greats on Sports Fan Cruises

You expect to find sports fans at the stadium, not in the middle of the ocean. But real enthusiasts know that you can take a fan cruise with your favorite team.

Hockey fans can get on board with the first-ever Philadelphia Flyers cruise to Bermuda. Celebrity Cruises integrates a traditional cruise with fan experiences like autograph sessions and QAs with ice hockey legends.

Celebrity is also going after football fans. In 2015, the New England Patriots will have their own fan cruise. You’ll play football on the top deck, take pictures with all-stars, and even sing karaoke with the team.

If baseball is your thing, you can cruise with some Major League legends on the MSC Divina. By day, you’ll step up to the plate with baseball clinics, and, at night, all-start players host trivia games, QAs, and storytelling sessions.

Plus, this spring, you can sail on Windstar Cruises to experience the Monaco Grand Prix. This is a total VIP experience where you’ll cruise the French Riviera on a yacht and then actually get to experience the races.

It’s not cheap but, for serious super fans, this is one of those events you won’t soon forget.
