Ryan “Northernlion” Letourneau, the Twitch streamer and Slay the Spire 2 aficionado who’s personally answerable for preserving Peloton in enterprise, has simply introduced the Northernlion Supercruise: a six-day-long “final streamer cruise” that can 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 stated announcement was sluggish to succeed in different corners of the web. That is possible as a result of, although Northernlion said a number of occasions that it was “not a bit,” his followers on r/northernlion are nonetheless not fully certain if it’s really actual. “Genuinely can not consider that is one thing Ryan would ever think about,” commented one person. “This appears 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 throughout the stream. I’ve watched sufficient Northernlion streams in my time to know that the 2 are shut mates, however these unfamiliar with Gheesling’s Twitch profession may know him higher because the winner of season 10 of Large Brother in 2008 and as a runner-up on the second season of The Traitors.
In line with 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 throughout 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 should characteristic occasions comparable to a meet and greet cocktail get together, “interactive query and reply classes” with the streamers, stay gaming leisure, and even a chance to “play with the professionals” for 2 fortunate company. There are additionally three accessible 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). you aren’t going to fulfill your future spouse on the membership. you’ll not meet her at your job, or college, or a restaurant, or at church. you will meet her on the Northernlion Supercruise — semicolin (@semicolinSSBM) April 13, 2026 Reactions outdoors of Northerlion’s fanbase have been blended, which is comprehensible contemplating how Twitch occasions are inclined to fare. In spite of everything, if TwitchCon 2025 was such an unmitigated catastrophe, it’s straightforward 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 essentially the most elaborate joke of all time. It was both that or really trying to ebook one of many solo “gamer” cabins, and I’m unsure if Kotaku would approve me expensing that to the corporate card beneath the guise of “analysis.”
