They’re telling me the ship is now sold out for the NRI cruise, but there are 30 cabins remaining in our allotment until August 1. You can secure your spot today at nricruise.com.
The cruise will go around the Eastern Caribbean from November 12–19, with several NR writers and esteemed conservative-movement leaders. Join us for seven days of leisurely activities, fascinating lectures, and quality conversation. The cruise will be similar to past NR cruises, but will also include exciting new programming, such as breakout sessions, book clubs, and exclusive 1955 Society events.
We’ll be on the Sky Princess, and I’m told by people who know about cruises that she’s one of the best ships out there. Launched in 2019, she was built in Italy and is flagged in Bermuda. The Jones Act doesn’t apply to passenger vessels, but such a ship would be illegal if used to transport cargo within the U.S. — come see what the feds are keeping from us. We’ll set sail from Fort Lauderdale and will include stops at Princess Cays, Bahamas; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Amber Cove, Dominican Republic; and Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos, before returning to Fort Lauderdale.
One of NRI’s primary missions is to preserve and promote Bill Buckley’s legacy. NRI president Lindsay Craig and several trustees will be onboard to discuss ambitious plans to celebrate that legacy leading up to the 100th anniversary of his birth in 2025. As a former Buckley Fellow, that cause is near and dear to my heart.
Confirmed speakers include: Professor William B. Allen, Charles C. W. Cooke, Veronique de Rugy, Kevin Hassett, John Hillen, Rich Lowry, Professor Daniel J. Mahoney, Andrew C. McCarthy, John O’Sullivan, Ramesh Ponnuru, Jimmy Quinn, and, somehow, me.
I’ve never been on a cruise of any sort before, let alone one where I can talk about free markets with a bunch of other people who want to talk about such things. I’m grateful to NRI for letting me tag along and hope to see you there.
