TRACY & LAURA
The Hickman Duo from the golden era of D&D
Tracy and Laura Hickman are the architects of one of the most beloved and enduring dark fantasy worlds in tabletop history. As the original creators of Ravenloft, they didn't just design a dungeon- they built a mythology that has haunted the dreams of players for over four decades.
Their work redefined what a D&D adventure could be: atmospheric, emotional, and deeply human beneath the shadows. This cruise is your rare chance to step inside that legacy not as a spectator, but as a guest at the table with the people who built it.

What the Last Cruise Was Like
What is the Vampire Cruise?
The Vampire Cruise is eight days aboard Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas, a fully programmed tabletop gaming adventure sailing from Los Angeles to Ensenada, Cabo, and Mazatlán.
Every cabin comes with a curated itinerary built around you, a community of fellow gamers, and access to programming you won't find anywhere else on the water. This isn't a cruise that happens to have games. It's a gaming event that happens to be on a ship.

"EPIC. The whole everything about it. The giant castle that we actually got to play in was phenomenal. This is a very unique experience, and we told an amazing story. I've never had anything like that."

"We've made friends with the other people on the trip. We got to go to Cabo San Lucas. It was really cool to be able to experience this setting with the group of people here who all turned out to be people I really like."
