Have you ever walked through a stadium parking lot before a Raiders game? Well, if so, then get ready because that same scene is about to come to an ocean near you. The Las Vegas Raiders have announced their very own fan cruise, a seven-day Pacific odyssey where they’re going to take a few thousand Raiders fans, put them on a boat, set them out to sea, and … see what happens. What could possibly go wrong!!??
First, the details:
- It’s a seven-night Mexican Riviera cruise, with stops in Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Ensenada
- The dates: March 23-30, 2025
- The cruise line: Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL)
- Appearances from Raiders alumni including Willie Gault, Lincoln Kennedy, Napoleon McCallum, and more
- Other inclusions: onboard parties, meet and greets, autograph sessions, photo ops, and more
And here’s what their website says is included in the cruise package:
What specifically catches our eyes? Oh, it’s the “Unlimited Open Bar Package”. Because I’m not sure there’s anything in the world more terrifying to us than a ship full of Raiders fans with unlimited access to booze and no place to be.
And how much is this little suarez, you ask? Well, the cheapest stateroom for two people will be $2400 per person. Single occupancy is not offered, so if you’re on your own, it will still be a minimum of $4800. For a three-or-four person stateroom, prices start at $2200 per person.
Is that a lot? Well, we looked at the same exact itinerary the previous week on the same ship, and prices are starting at $899 per person. So yeah, we’d say that a 167% premium to cruise with fellow Raiders fans is quite the upcharge.
But hey … that’s not to say that it’s not worth it! In recent years there has been an explosion of cruises for all types of interests, including rock cruises, comedy cruises, pickleball cruises, and let’s not forget the most famous cruise of all time: the Gronk Cruise. People love them, and all of those cruises come with steep premiums (and sell just fine), so hey – whatever floats your boat!
So what next? Well, if you’re interested in checking it out, here’s the link: https://raidersfancruise.com/
The second step, we suppose, is stocking up on black charcoal sunblock/face paint before it all sells out (which we definitely think it will).
And the third step? Well, if you’re someone who just happens to be floating by at the time, we’d suggest … prayer?
Honestly, we can’t wait to see this. If you decide to go on this, let us know – we need an on-site correspondent to send live reports from what will surely be the most insane place on the seas.
