Pink Floyd Cruise Wishes You Were Here

Is John Mayer's Mayercraft cruise not your type of scene on the high seas? Then you might be interested in the Pink Floyd Themed Cruise: Great Gig in the Sea traveling to the Bahamas featuring a Pink Floyd tribute band of course.

This one-of-a-kind voyage will feature the music of Think Floyd USA: The American Pink Floyd Show, and will celebrate material from Pink Floyd’s earliest days through the present. Think Floyd USA will take listeners on a musical and visual flight through the Pink Floyd galaxy performing all of Pink Floyd’s classic hits from legendary albums such as Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and the all time classic, The Wall.

The cruise sets sails on May 1 from the Port of Miami and lasts for three hazy days, disembarking in Nassau, Bahamas.

Pink Floyd fans will be sailing on Carnival Cruise's Imagination, which features a 24-hour pizzeria (for late night munchies), a late-night bistro, a full gambling casino, spa, nine-hole mini-golf course, water-spray park, pools and an adults-only retreat.

An inside cabin starts at $389; that includes all meals and non-alcoholic drinks. Go here for more pricing info and to make your reservations. Or hit up this dude who wants a roommate for the cruise. Don't forget to bring your copy of The Wizard of Oz.

Super Dangerous Travel: What's Aloft This Week?

The Brazilian navy has officially given up the search for last week's airborne Brazilian priest, and Father Adelir de Carli is on the verge of being declared dead. But another floating object was a little more lucky. An inflated pig which drifted off from this year's Coachella music festival has come in for a landing, albeit in pieces.

The pig, seen here in action at Coachella, belonged to Pink Floyd and was aloft during Roger Waters' Sunday-night set when its two-story heft broke away from the cables.

It turned up in La Quinta, California, in two neighbors' driveways. While the pig is probably not replaceable, the lucky homeowners to find its remains will split a $10,000 reward and get Coachella tickets for life. (Alas, free bacon for life wasn't included.)
