WriterCon Cruise
JOIN US FOR THE 2025 TRANSATLANTIC WRITERCON CRUISE
May 23rd – May 30th, 2025
Embark on a Journey of Discovery aboard the last true ocean liner, the Queen Mary 2.
Set sail with us from May 23rd – May 30th, 2025 for a transatlantic voyage leaving New York and arriving in Southhampton, England. From there you can choose to fly back home or perhaps explore the writing homes of Jane Austen or Lord Byron. Some of those attending plan to take a ferry to Normandy and explore parts of France. If you are writing something historically set in Europe – or perhaps you want to – this is the writing experience for you!
Life on board a Cunard Transatlantic Crossing is all about freedom. Every day presents myriad choices but how much, or how little, you do is entirely up to you. Visit Queen Mary 2’s planetarium, join a yoga class, dance the night away, or bury yourself in a good book – the largest library at sea with over 10,000 books. Take a look below at some of what the Queen Mary 2 has to offer.
We’ll begin taking reservations for this cruise on July 22nd! So check back for all the details.

TESTIMONIALS
Author of the Best-selling Veritas Codex Series
“Participating in the 2023 cruise and Summer retreat are some of the best things I have ever done for my writing. The practical, action-oriented sessions helped me boost my page production and editing, too. I’ve attended many conferences over the years, and was surprised that I learned so much. Everyone was super-helpful, and interested only in helping all writers do their best work.”
Linda Basinger
“The WriterCon cruise had the most useful content of all the conferences I’ve ever attended.”
