On these special cruises, guests will be invited to meet with former major league baseball stars on several “Baseball Greats” theme cruises in 2012 and 2013.

Top features include a number of guest/player activities including a player-hosted trivia game, a question-and-answer session, a guest pitching contest and a lively storytelling session as well as baseball players hosting hitting, fielding, base running, and defense strategy clinics.

A free autograph session is one of the most popular aspects of the “Baseball Greats” experience.

Host and emcee for all of the onboard activities on each cruise is former New York Yankees star pitcher, Stan Bahnsen.

Special “Summer Sale” rates begin at $799 for the 10-night “Baseball Greats” cruise and $549 for 7-night cruises. Fares are per person, double occupancy; government fees and taxes are additional. Bookings must be made by Sept. 30 to receive “Summer Sale” rates.
