May the Fourth Be With You, or “Stars Wars Days” has become a holiday for many Star Wars fans around the globe, which is why the Pirates of the Pieces of Eight will celebrate the holiday by inviting their guests to dress in their Star Wars themed costumes and bring their lightsabers aboard the ship. “I can’t wait for all the people at the beach to look out on the water and see a bunch of lightsabers on our boat.”
“I am a Star Wars fan myself, so I can’t tell you how excited I am for this event,” Sepulveda said in a prepared statement. The idea for this cruise stemmed from Pieces of Eight Pirate Ship Captain Stephen Sepulveda, who is a huge Star Wars fan. Kastan said they are always looking for creative themed cruises to do. He said those who are interested should definitely purchase tickets ahead of time.
Marketing director David Kastan said they sold out last year and are anticipating selling out again this year.
