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.

Mark Nesbitt is a former National Park Service Ranger/Historian. He started his own research and writing company in 1977 and did research and advertising copy for some of America's best historical artists. Beginning in 1978 he began writing books, including If the South Won Gettysburg (1980), 35 Days to Gettysburg (1992), Rebel Rivers (1993), Saber and Scapegoat: J.E.B. Stuart and the Gettysburg Controversy (1994), Through Blood and Fire (1996), and the best selling Ghosts of Gettysburg Series (1991- present). Many of his stories have been seen, and/or heard, on The History Channel, A&E, The Travel Channel, Unsolved Mysteries, Coast to Coast AM, and numerous other local television programs and specials. In July of 2004, his Ghosts of Gettysburg Series received the National Paranormal Award for "Best True Hauntings Collection" and "Best 'Local Haunt' Guidebook."
