Ryan “Northernlion” Letourneau, the Twitch streamer and Slay the Spire 2 aficionado who’s personally liable for protecting Peloton in enterprise, has simply introduced the Northernlion Supercruise: a six-day-long “final streamer cruise” that may set you again, at minimal, $1,800.
The occasion was introduced on April 13 throughout Northernlion’s most up-to-date stream on Twitch, though information of mentioned announcement was gradual to succeed in different corners of the web. That is doubtless as a result of, despite the fact that Northernlion acknowledged a number of instances that it was “not a bit,” his followers on r/northernlion are nonetheless not totally certain if it’s truly actual. “Genuinely can not imagine that is one thing Ryan would ever contemplate,” commented one consumer. “This feels like his personal private hell.”
Alongside the Northernlion Supercruise web site itself, the factor that satisfied me that it’s actual was the visitor look of Dan Gheesling in the course of the stream. I’ve watched sufficient Northernlion streams in my time to know that the 2 are shut pals, however these unfamiliar with Gheesling’s Twitch profession may know him higher because the winner of season 10 of Massive Brother in 2008 and as a runner-up on the second season of The Traitors.
Based on Gheesling, the occasion was partially organized by his mom, who has “owned a journey company for 50 years.” A number of different Twitch streamers are set to make appearances in the course of the cruise alongside each Northernlion and Gheesling, together with Squeex, Lovelymomo, and two as-of-yet unannounced visitor stars.
The cruise will set out from Tampa, Florida on March 8, 2027, and it’ll make stops at Cozumel and Costa Maya in Mexico earlier than returning to Tampa on March 13. It would function occasions akin to a meet and greet cocktail celebration, “interactive query and reply classes” with the streamers, stay gaming leisure, and even a chance to “play with the professionals” for 2 fortunate friends. There are additionally three obtainable reserving choices for the cruise: a solo “gamer” cabin (which prices $1,800), a “duo queue” cabin ($2,049), and a premium “squad up” cabin ($2,159).

Reactions exterior of Northerlion’s fanbase have been blended, which is comprehensible contemplating how Twitch occasions are inclined to fare. In any case, if TwitchCon 2025 was such an unmitigated catastrophe, it’s simple to see how trapping a small group of streamers on a ship with a bunch of followers for six days might prove poorly. It does sound prefer it has the capability to finish up as a mixture between Fyre Pageant and Lord of the Flies.
Nonetheless, and that is coming from a longtime Northerlion viewer, I’m struggling to wrap my head round this being actual. I do know the person loves cruises, however come on. To that finish, Kotaku has reached out to Northernlion Supercruises simply to double-check that this isn’t probably the most elaborate joke of all time. It was both that or truly trying to ebook one of many solo “gamer” cabins, and I’m undecided if Kotaku would approve me expensing that to the corporate card below the guise of “analysis.”
