Spy Cruise Planned to Bahamas with Ex-CIA, KGB

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - If a sail on the high seas mingling with former CIA, KGB, and FBI agents to talk about spying sounds like a good time, a seven-day SpyCruise to the Bahamas might be for you, organizers say.

The Center for Counterintelligence and Security Studies, which conducts SpyDrive, a bus tour of the U.S. capital's espionage sites, is taking to the water for a new tourist adventure it plans to launch in March.

Details were not yet firm, but a week-long cruise was planned on an old transatlantic liner from Florida to the Bahamas during which morning lectures about the spy trade would be offered, said Cindy Kwitchoff, spokeswoman for the Center.

``The ship itself is an older ship, it used to be a transatlantic liner so it has that old Orient Express-type wood and brass, so it lends to that romantic, historical type of thing that we're going to be doing,'' she said Tuesday.

Authentic spy gadgets would be displayed on board and tourists would mingle with former officials of the U.S. and Soviet spy agencies.

Initial estimated price per person was $700 to $900. Once details are firm, they will be on the Center's Web site at http://www.cicentre.com.
