Artists

Cory Doctorow: Cancelled October 12, 2017. “Unfortunately, due to an unavoidable scheduling conflict, Cory Doctorow will be unable to attend the 2018 cruise. He wished us to convey his “enormous regret and chagrin” (that's a direct quote) that he can't make it this year, and we will all be sure to raise a delicious frozen drink his honor while on board.”

Ted Leo: Cancelled December 28, 2017. “Unfortunately, Ted Leo has to cancel his appearance with is for 2018. We've loved having him aboard, and look forward to having him back in future years. Huan, the Hound of Valinor has spoken for an unprecedented fourth time to express how much he will miss Ted this year.”
