Fans Invited to go on Pittsburgh Steelers Cruise

It's always a disappointment for Pittsburgh Steelers fans when the season ends each year.

But some fans might look forward to the offseason next year because there's a Steelers theme cruise in March.

That's right. Fans can go on a Royal Caribbean Brilliance of the Seas cruise with Hines Ward, Franco Harris, Mel Blount, Andy Russell, Greg Lloyd, Willie Parker, Aaron Smith, Chris Hoke, Robin Cole, J.T. Thomas, Gary Dunn, Antwaan Randle El and more. Tunch Ilkin and Craig Wolfley will serve as the cruise hosts.

The cruise will depart from Tampa, FL on March 10 and sail to Nassau, Bahamas and the private island of Coco Cay before returning to Tampa on March 15.

There will be plenty of Steelers activities for the vacationers, including daily autograph sessions, a Steelers Got Talent Show featuring a Hines Ward dance number and The Chief movie night.

Kids will be entertained with NFL Play 60 activities on the sports deck, kids-only press conferences with players and interactive games.

Other entertainment will include live shows and interviews with YouTube sensation Pittsburgh Dad and local musicians such as Joe Grushecky and Scott Blasey. 

A portion of the proceeds from the cruise will benefit the Mel Blount Youth Home and other charities including Make-a-Wish and the Light of Life Mission.

Interior cabin prices start at $999 per person. Spacious suites start at $2,799 per person. All packages include the all-you-can eat dining package and access to all public Steelers and Royal Caribbean events on board. 

Guests opting to purchase cabins in the MVP Class and Super Bowl Class will enjoy exclusive access including private VIP parties with players, dining with players, a "Fast Pass" for the autograph sessions and preferred seating for main events. 

Guests staying in the Chief Suites Class will stay on deck 10 with the players and enjoy access to the Steelers Crown Lounge and Concierge Lounge that are only open to guests staying on Deck 10.
