The zombie apocalypse will take the sea by storm as ‘The Walking Dead’ cast has reportedly signed on to the Walker Stalker Con.
Norwegian Cruise Line and festivals at sea marketer Sixthman have collaborated to create zombie-themed cruise ship out of the Norwegian Pearl, thereby serving as "playground for fans of the hit television series and comic books," Fox News reported.
In January 2016, fans will have a special opportunity to take a vacation and go on a cruise ship that is full of no other than zombies.
Walker Stalker Con, which has now been dubbed as the "Walker Stalker Cruise,” will be comprised of a three-day round trip cruise from Miami, Florida to Nassau, Bahamas; it will take place from Jan. 15 to 18, 2016.
Ship passengers will be given the chance to interact with selected actors from ‘The Walking Dead’ during question and answer panels. Other activities that are expected on board include photo ops, autograph sessions, concerts, zombie gaming, costume contests and theme nights, among others.
Cast members of the AMC’s hit zombie drama who have reportedly joined the special sea voyage include Norman Reedus (Daryl), Chandler Riggs (Carl), Emily Kinney (Beth), Sonequa Martin-Green (Sasha), Chad L. Coleman(Tyreese), Christian Serratos (Rosita), Lawrence Gilliard Jr. (Bob) and Ross Marquand (Aaron).
Other guests who will be joining the cruise are yet to be announced.
Official details of the cruise have been posted on the event’s website; fans can certainly look forward to the three-day occasion as luxury amenities will be made available at the Norwegian Pearl, such as “multiple bars and lounges, several dining experiences, a fitness center, two outdoor pools, hot tubs, a rock climbing wall, an award-winning spa, bowling ally and onboard casino."
Guests can also join in on the exploration of the Nassau island in the Bahamas where they will be “greeted by palm-lined streets leading the way to sandy beaches, duty-free shopping and delicious local fare - ideal for supply runs!”
Ticket prices start at $750 for two persons. All meals are complementary and will be included in the ticket price.
The cruise has begun accepting pre-sale bookings, and the first 1,000 individuals who book during the pre-sale will be given a limited-edition lithograph signed by Norman Reedus.
