For fans of steampunk, there's a new cruise theme for you. The Steampunk Cruise and Duchess of Nola High Seas Ball will be held on Navigator of the Seas on March 16, 2013.
The cruise offers on-board workshops and performances from established steampunk writers, speakers, artists and musicians.
Steampunk is defined as Victorian science fiction, which is basically how industrialized 19th century people would have viewed science fiction.
