Spend a week with author, columnist and speaker Virginia Postrel, whose fascinating work runs the gamut from science to fashion. Virginia is the former editor in chief of Reason magazine, and is the author of the soon-to-be-released Power of Glamour.
Other speakers on this year's cruise include "skeptical environmentalist" Bjorn Lomborg, author and historian Johan Norberg, Reason editor in chief Matt Welch, Reason TV editor in chief Nick Gillespie, Reason science correspondent Ron Bailey, and Reason senior editor Jacob Sullum.
We'll be traveling in style on the Celebrity Silhouette, and all-inclusive accommodations start at just $1,650 per person (and range up to deluxe cabins with incredible ocean views and private verandas).

The cruises were better when Virginia Postrel was involved.
Don’t you mean “when Postrel was at the helm”?
If Postrel is there the whole time, do I have to keep drinking the whole time?
As if you wouldn’t if she weren’t there.
Wasn’t everything?
I clearly need to know more about Postrel – I had no idea she was into fashion.
runs the gamut from science to fashion.
Sounds *yawn*… excuse me… fascinating.
OT: On vacation, was peer-pressured into eating breakfast with a woman I didn’t know and didn’t like. Everything she said I couldn’t give a fuck less about.
I stood to leave the table because I couldn’t take listening to anymore of her bullshit. She stopped her story and said “Wait, I wasn’t done yet!” To which, I replied, “I don’t give a shit, tell someone who cares.”
The rest of the table bust out laughing and she finally left us alone.
and that woman was your wife!
Not at the time, but they did get married later.
Yeah, man. People with diverse interests are the world’s greatest monsters.
I’m dying to know how many pairs of shoes she owns!
Fashion! Turn to the Right!
I can’t imagine much worse than being trapped on a boat in the middle of the ocean with a bunch of libertarian commenters.
Except maybe a Feinstein-Pelosi threesome.
Which one of them is double? Or are they both 1.5s?
Damn, I forgot the minimum score rule.
I guess it wouldn’t be a threesome.
Imagine trapped on boat with 500 angry white men, all trying to endear themselves to Nick by making “Jacket” jokes. Shiver me timbers.
“Hey Nick where’s the jacket?”
“Hey Nick you gonna swim with the jacket?”
“Hey Nick does the jacket inflate if the ship sinks?”
“Hey Nick is that a shark skin jacket?”
“Hey Nick, left the jacket back in the cabin?”
“Hey Nick can I buy you and the jacket a drink?”
…
The creepy touching is the worst part.
The creepy touching is the worst part.
Nick should stop doing that, then.
500 angry white anarchists, you mean.
The ship will surely go down at sea, engulfed in flames.
“Help! Help!”
“Fuck you, help yourself.”
If you think that’s bad, trying being the only woman on that ship.
She truly is a brave soul.
But then again, no one told her that Warty’s going.
Warty’s going.
Ass Raaaaaape Boat
Soon will be making another run
Ass Raaaaaape Boat
Promises ass rape for everyone!
Set your course for an ass rape
your mind on a new victim.
Ass rape…..won’t hurt any more.
Spreading butt cheeks
Cherry red bunghole.
Ass Raaaaaappppeeeee!!!
Welcome aboard, ass ra-a-ape.
Maybe she’s just *really* into gangbangs.
“Hey baby where’s the jacket?”
At least a cruise ship can only hold so many libertarian populists, so the threat is minimized.
But how will a libertarian ship get anywhere, without any ROADZZZ?!!!
Nice.
How will they decide where to go, with no one in charge?
All I can picture is Dennis Hopper on the ship in Waterworld. No thanks.
Given the state of the cruise industry, drinking your own piss is not out of the question.
Or crashing into something. Because, how long could a ships captain remain sober with 500 hedonistic libertarians on board?
It would be like that Buckwheat Groats video, Arbor Day Party, only at sea.
It’s the Reason Cruise, we’re gettin fucked up, FUKCED UP!
Don’t worry, I hear Virginia Postrel will be at the helm.
Is Bear Grylls in charge?
I can’t afford the cruise, but I will watch the web series based on Nick and Matt sharing a stateroom.

They can write a book about it.
I could afford it, but I could also go on a regular cruise for that same price, but also bring my girlfriend along.
Can we put Warty, Epi, and Steve Smith in a cabin together and set up a webcam?
eewwww /teenage girl DIES.
Smoking is not permitted in any dining venue, casino, theater, lounge, hallway, elevator, or corridor. This policy includes smoking-like products such as electronic cigarettes. Smoking is not permitted inside any stateroom, nor on any stateroom veranda. If you are in violation of this policy…you may be subject to further “Consequence
Additionally, there is a non-smoking policy on all components of the land tour portion …We appreciate your understanding and adherence.
Get back to us when you charter a yacht.
“Smoking-like product” — you mean devices that don’t produce any actual smoke?
I see an incoming drone in one ship’s future.
Welcome to Somali Cruises
It’s like a safari, only better
“Safari” is the Swahili word for adventure and that’s just what we have in store for you.
We sail up and down the coast of Somalia waiting to get hijacked by pirates. We encourage you to bring your ‘High powered weapons’ along on the cruise. If you don’t have weapons of your own, you can rent them on the boat.
SOMALI CRUISES
Fun For The Whole Family!
Most cruises offer a mini-bar
We offer a mounted Mini-Gun
“I got three confirmed kills on my last trip. I’ll never hunt big game in Africa again. I felt like the Komandant in Schindlers list!” — Lars , Hamburg Germany
“Six attacks in 4 days was more than I expected. I bagged three pirates and my 12yr old son sank two rowboats with the minigun. PIRATES: 0 – PASSENGERS: 32! Well worth the trip. Just make sure your spotter speaks English” — Donald, Salt Lake city Utah USA
“I haven’t had this much fun since flying choppers in NAM . Don’t worry about getting shot by pirates as they never even got close to the ship with those weapons they use and their shitty aim–reminds me of a drunken’juicer’ door gunner we picked up from the motor pool back in Nam” — ‘chopper’ Dan, Toledo USA.
“Like ducks in a barrel. They turned the ship around and we saw them cry in the water like little girls. Saw one wounded pirate eaten by sharks–what a laugh riot! This is a must do.” — Zeke, Springs Kentucky USA
+1
Shit, I’d take that cruise just to buy the ammo and not shoot anything. 5.56mm for $.16/round, 7.62x39mm for $.15/round? Sign me up! I haven’t seen ammo prices like that in ten years. Even the 7.62mm NATO price is really good (assuming the slowest feedrate on the mini-gun), at $.30/round.
It’s hard to load your own for those prices, unless you somehow luck into a bulk primer deal (which is next to impossible to find for the past 4-5 years) and have a fuckton of your own brass.
