THE Singapore Cosplay Club will be organising a cosplay festival aboard Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas as part of the club’s 15th anniversary celebrations. The cruise is set to depart Singapore’s shores on January 8, 2016, arriving at Malaysia’s Port Klang three days later.
Named Cosfest Sea: The Rising Tide, the three-night weekend cruise’s biggest draw is the Asia Cosplay Meet Championship, where top regional cosplayers from Japan, South Korea, China and more, battle it out for the top prize. This will be open for public viewing for all the guests onboard to view the action.
Taiwanese celebrity cosplayer, Neneko, will also be making an appearance on the cruise, offering photo opportunities and autograph signing sessions.
Other highlights of the festival include a cosplay parade on the ship’s promenade, costume dressing sessions for children, and a Cosplay Café, where guests get served by staff dressed in popular anime characters.
Tickets are available on Singapore Cosplay Club’s website, with Interior Stateroom packages going at S$460 (US$321) and Balcony Stateroom packages going at S$633. Besides use of usual cruise amenities, ticket holders also get special souvenirs, allocated seating at the Cosplay Café and access to events such as a private photoshoot and a singing party.
