If you read Witch Weekly you may have noticed this in January:

Late in March and stretching into early April, a new cruise liner, The Santa Antonina will depart Scotland on an eighteen-day, multi-country tour of coastal Europe. This is an excellent opportunity for young women to see the world beyond simply their honeymoon. While tickets are expensive, some cabins may be available to any family of good standing in society. Unfortunately, the Santa Antonina will stop in each city only one day before moving on, but seeing a city for a day is better than not seeing the city at all! We anticipate that any young woman fortunate enough to undergo the cruise will be the envy of all her peers this season, and will have a litany of delightful stories with which to regale gentleman callers.

Well, here it is!

Cabins are available for UC or MC families ranging from modest and affordable to the height of luxury. (Despite cabins being affordable, MC men are unlikely to be interested in this since it requires taking a significant amount of time off work and PTO wasn't a thing in this era, so be advised). During days underway, meals will be served in one of two dining halls (classy vs. slightly less classy) and evenings will involve some sort of entertainment, including performances, card and game nights, and just regular old dances. Attendance at the evening events is optional. During in-port days, meals will be provided to guests in their cabins if requested but formal service is suspended so everyone can go enjoy the city.

In addition to cabins, dining, and entertainment spaces, the ship is furnished with gender-segregated retiring rooms, gender-segregated sun decks, and one coed sundeck.

Dormitories are available to WC folks but only if they're working through the cruise (servant types, entertainers, sailors). WC folks can expect half a day off in each port call but are otherwise barred from participating in the amenities of the cruise.

Abbreviated Itinerary: March 26th - April 12th | Aberdeen, Scotland > Zeebrugge, Belgium > Lisbon, Portugal > Barcelona, Spain > Rome, Italy > Algiers, Algeria > Brest, France > Plymouth, England

MJ made the most Alfredy of sets and then two years later she made it EVEN BETTER

Ophelia wants to book a cabin with Porphyria Dempsey and make it a girls' trip (since I assume Roberto will be busy with Quidditch stuff?)

Nova could come too but get her own cabin :P

Caroline's family will have purchased a relatively luxurious cabin for @"Caroline Delaney" who will be accompanied by Nimiane Delaney as something of an engagement gift. She might invite @"Zelda Fisk" if Zelda were inclined to join her and the Fisks inclined to let her go (let me know on Skype).

  

Penelope Fawcett and @'Elsie Beauregard' will be accompanied by Penny's mom in a MC cabin.

@"Liliana Selwyn" would probably wanna go while dragging some future sister-in-laws and the lady Selwyns (Anthea Selwyn Ambrosia Selwyn Tanwen Selwyn - probably wouldn't try to drag Freya since she's preggo). Question is, would she be able to convince Trystan Selwyn to a) let her go, and b) convince/make the other Selwyn ladies tag along? Girls trip.

Dom is very begrudgingly embarking with Matilda, leaving Leonid Fisk in charge of the hit wizards for two weeks during which time Leo can likely expect daily owls interrogating him about how things are going. If he fails to return one promptly Dom's swimming back to check up in person.

Also if Bellona Zabini or @"Camilla Zabini" want to tag along we'll play chaperone!

Leonid, externally: no problem, boss. Enjoy your cruise!

Set by MJ

Fitz thinks this is a delightful way to shirk responsibility and that his mother is less likely to show up at his bedside if he is in international waters.

Rufina Mulciber will also be going because she doesn't have a whole lot going on right now, which might be useful as references/things to keep Matilda occupied when Dom wants to brood elsewhere but is generally not active :P

Ngl I am obsessed with the idea of this nightmare journey. Ambrosia might actually push someone overboard.

Ambrosia's got 99 problems but this hot af set from MJ ain't 1 of them

Since Kayte pointed out not everyone did a stint in the Navy and understands my shorthand, U/W on the schedule means underway (aka at sea) not anything weird xD
