Want to hobnob with your favorite players? Hang out on a sports cruise and chat about your most memorable sports moments? It’s cruise season and there are many opportunities to take a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with legends from the sports world. We’ve talked about this before, but it’s worth mentioning again. Here are just a few of the cruises available this year. If your team isn’t listed here, go to their website and see if they offer one. They might be planning for next year’s cruise.
Legends of Pittsburgh Cruise: This sports cruise is coming up pretty quickly at the end of March/beginning of April and there’s no guarantee that they have spots left, but if you miss this one, try to get on the waiting list for the next one. This cruise has “Mean Joe” Greene, the Pittsburgh Steelers famous defensive tackle who was named to 10 Pro Bowls and won 4 Super Bowls. You might be able to do the Hokie Pokie with Steelers defensive tackle Chris Hoke, who made the dance famous on 2014 Steelers Cruise. There are also opportunities to dine with him. Also joining these greats is Santonio Holmes, Brett Keisel, Arthur Moats and others. For more information, visit http://www.legendsofpittsburghcruise.com/pittsburghsports.html

The trip sails March 10-15, 2018 on Caribbean Independence of the Seas and there will be over 20 Legends on their inaugural fan cruise vacation through the Caribbean.
