Hogs on the High Seas: The bikers cruises

Motorcycle riders, rev 'em up: Hogs on the High Seas has two rally cruises for you this year, and another on tap for 2009.

Note: these cruises are not connected to Harley-Davidson Inc. However, you may find a Harley lover or two aboard. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

The first bikers cruise, a week-long sailing from Los Angeles to the Mexican Riviera on Royal Caribbean's Vision of the Seas, is coming up soon: April 13, 2008. As of today, only nine cabins are left for sale (1060 people have already signed up). Remaining cabins are priced from $2,074 to $3,314 total for two people.

Port stops include Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta, but a lot of the fun takes place onboard. The dress code is "motorcycle attire" -- no formal wear on this cruise (leather is required the two nights of "formal" dining). There are special biker games and events, a sexy senorita contest and a topless hombre contest, along with partying in port. You might even win a new bike.

The next high seas rally is a week-long Western Caribbean sailing on November 2, 2008, aboard Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas, with port stops in Labadee, Haiti (Royal Caribbean's private island), Ocho Rios (Jamaica), Grand Cayman, and Cozumel, Mexico. Prices for remaining cabins range from $1,950 to $3,600 for two people total.

The attire and entertainments are much the same for this cruise, which features a belly smacker contest, best beard contest, buxom wenches contest, pirate biker bingo, poker walk, and tattoo contest, along with more partying in port.

The downside: no bikes on board, for either cruise. You'll just have to be satisfied with the company of your fellow bikers.

In 2009, watch for details on an Alaska cruise.
