Somali cruise package departing from Sawakin in the Sudan, docking at Bagamoya in Tanzania .
The cost is a bit expensive, but seems well worth it, considering the value. What is enlightening is that the cruise line is encouraging passengers to bring their own high-powered weapons. If passengers don't have weapons, they can be rented from the cruise line. There will be a master gunsmith on board, with reloading parties scheduled every afternoon. The cruise lasts from 4-8 days. The ship will sail up and down the coast of Somalia waiting for a hijack attack by pirates.
