Norwegian Cruise Line to Host Twitter-themed Cruise
By Fran Golden

Norwegian Cruise Line says it will host its first "Tweetup" cruise on a sailing in November. The idea behind the SeaTweetup Cruise (@SeaTweetup) is that Twitter users can share their cruise experiences with followers and build more traffic, according to the line. The cruise is being coordinated with the help of several members of the South Florida social media community.

The three-day sailing is on the 2,002-passenger Norwegian Sky and embarks from Miami on Nov. 18. Fares, from $271 per person, include special shipboard networking events and social media marketing panels and discussions. In addition, the cruise line said participants will also be invited to exclusive in-port events they can "post, tweet, and blog."

Social media-savvy cruisers will also have access to all the ship's facilities and entertainment happenings, of course, or as NCL puts it, "After a long day of tweeting, guests can dance the night away at the White Hot Party, the line's signature dance party."
