Received from an e-mail correspondent. I have little interest in Cruise ships, but…THIS is a cruise package that would be worth doing!

I found a Somali cruise package that departs from Sawakin (in the Sudan) and docks at Bagamoya (in Tanzania).

The cost is a bit high @ $800 per person per day double occupancy but I didn’t find that offensive. What I found enticing is that the cruise company is encouraging people to bring their ‘High powered weapons’ along on the cruise.

If you don’t have weapons you can rent them right there on the boat. They claim to have a master gunsmith on board and will have reloading parties every afternoon. The cruise lasts from 4-8 days and nights and costs a maximum of $3200 per person double occupancy (for 4 days). All the boat does is sail up and down the coast of Somalia waiting to get attacked by pirates.

Here are some of the costs and claims associated with the package.

$800.00 US/per day double occupancy (4 day max billing)

M-16 full auto rental at $25.00/day – ammo 100 rounds of 5.56 armor piercing ammo at $15.95.

AK-47 rifle @ No charge. Ammo at 100 rounds of 7.62 Comm block ball ammo at $14.95.

Barrett M-107 .50 cal sniper rifle rental $55.00/day ammo 25 rounds 50 cal armor piercing at $9.95.

Crew members can double as spotters for $30.00 per hour (spotting scope included).

They even offer RPG’s at 75 bucks or 200 dollars for 3 standard loads.

“Everyone gets use of free complimentary night vision equipment and coffee and snacks on the top deck from 7pm-6am.”

Meals are not included but seem reasonable.

Most cruises offer a mini-bar…these gung ho entrepreneurs offer…get this “MOUNTED MINIGUN AVAILABLE” @ $450.00 per 30 seconds of sustained fire”.

Unused ammo (mini gun charges not included). How can we guarantee you will experience a hijacking? We operate at 5 knots within 12 miles of the coast of Somalia. If an attempted Hijacking does not occur we will turn the boat around and cruise by at 4 knots. We will repeat this for up to 8 days making three passes a day along the entire length of Somalia. At night the boat is fully lit and bottle rockets are shot off at intervals and loud disco music beamed shore side to attract attention.

Cabin space is limited so respond quickly.

Reserve your package before May 15th and get 100 rounds of free tracer ammo in the caliber of your choice.
