Unless you happen to be a geography buff or a resident of the extreme Pacific Northwest, it’s safe to say you never heard of a tiny town called Forks until the Twilight Saga made it famous.

You might have already made your Twilight trek to Forks, WA…but have you toured the Northwest with stars from the movie?

Next summer, vampire fanatics can reminisce about Eclipse‘s release during a sightseeing cruise. The vacation, which will launch from Seattle, will begin with a motor-coach tour of Forks. (That’s the real-life city where the teen romance is set.) The journey will then continue on to Alaska. Oh - did I forget to mention that Alice and Emmett Cullen will also be aboard that ship?

Those able to book a reservation will have the opportunity to participate in Q&A and autograph sessions with actors Ashley Green and Kellan Lutz. A costume ball and a charity auction are also listed on the cruise itinerary
