During Seafair's Fleet Week (held July 29 to August 2, 2009), some lucky people will get the chance to ride on some of the navy's ships through the Seafair Ship Rider program. Riders will be chosen randomly among the applications received. We can't find out exact details on which boats are coming for security reasons, but previous Seafair guest cruises have included destroyers, frigates, cutters and hospital ships.
The cruises will last from 6 to 8 hours, including embarking and disembarking, and include lunch and the chance to walk through passageways, climb ladders, tour the different decks, and get a real taste of life at sea as you cruise the Puget Sound. What a cool opportunity!
The cruises are only open to passengers age 8 and up, but this could be a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for you and your older kids. Find the applications and more information on Fleet Week cruises here.
Applications must be received by July 10, so get moving!
