ABOUT BOARD GAME CRUISES
Meeples as Sea and CrusieCon have merged! Welcome to all of the past CrusieCon attendees!
What is a board gaming cruise?
It is a game convention on the sea.....but with your hotel and all-you-can-eat amazing food included! The cruise ship offers many fun excursions, shows, and activities. The Meeples at Sea cruises offer an additional agenda of gaming activities in an area where you can play games 24/7! We bring over 100 games to play, with play-to-win and learn-to-play activities. Our sponsors frequently give us gaming goodies to give out to our attendees. ONLY 100 people per cruise trip, so the small group means you'll get to know the other attendees very well.
Can I come alone?
For those considering coming alone, know that we have dinners planned together and open gaming, where there are always friendly gamers around looking for a new friend.
CRUISE SAILING AGENDA
A schedule of tournaments, organized play, parties (geek style!) sponsors, and more will be posted in January 2022
An unforgettable week in the Caribbean awaits on this adventure-packed cruise from Tampa. Venture to the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula for great fishing, diving and snorkeling in charming Cozumel. Take advantage of all the watersports, beach activities and great shopping at Harvest Caye, the premier island destination in Southern Belize—ziplining across the island, anyone? And Costa Maya is the place to explore ancient Mayan ruins, relax and play on sparkling beaches, and snorkel the second-largest reef in the world.

This is how we can get our dedicated gaming area on the ship. If you book outside our group, you will unfortunately be unable to enjoy our dedicated game area and will also miss out on giveaways and other prizes.
Q: Is Meeples at Sea (formerly CrusieCon: Boardgaming at Sea) the whole ship? Or are we just part of it?
