Forbidden Territory • A Night Cruise to Rum Row

Escape into another Time and Place: into the Era of Rum-Runners, Flappers, and Bathtub Gin. Soft focus your eyes back to 1929, don a fedora and wide tie, and tell the Purser you want an outside cabin on the Boat Deck. Prohibition has been in effect for nine years, and bathtub gin is a national craze. The stock market is booming. Rum runners ply the moonlit waters between Rum Row and Long Island. Lovers sway to the music of the ship’s orchestra. International spies hold forbidden rendezvous on the Promenade Deck. And the nobs of Manhattan society are planning the upcoming social season. Ocean liners are the playground of the rich and famous. But to ordinary Americans, the great steamships are "Forbidden Territory." You are cordially invited to attend a soirée aboard the R.M.S. Forbidden Territory, where flappers rub shoulders with debutantes, cat burglars survey their prey, and gangsters mix with high society nobs. Money talks -- and sometimes it whispers "murder."
