Be chilled, thrilled, and spooked on a 5-night adventure aboard Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas roundtrip
Boston.
Mark Nesbitt, author of the best-selling "
Ghosts of Gettysburg" series, will headline this unique cruise of New England and
Canada October 17 -22, 2009. Onboard, Nesbitt will host some spooky story telling, bringing to life his many adventures that have convinced him that ghosts do indeed walk among us.
Ports include Portland and Bar Harbor, Maine, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. At each port, Nesbitt has planned particularly haunting experiences: a spooky tour of Portland; a haunted trolley tour of Bar Harbor, and a ghost walk of Halifax. Guests can top off their adventure with an overnight at Boston's haunted Park Plaza Hotel, and a Nesbitt-lead tour of Boston, home of such notorious characters as the Boston Strangler and Lizzie Borden, the only suspect in the hatchet murders of her father and step mother.
