Twitch streamer Ryan 'Northernlion' Letourneau has announced the 'Northernlion Supercruise', a six-day cruise event that will set fans back at least $1,800 to attend. The event, which will depart from Tampa, Florida and make stops in Mexico, will feature appearances from Northernlion as well as other popular Twitch personalities. While the announcement was initially met with skepticism from Northernlion's fanbase, the involvement of his friend and fellow streamer Dan Gheesling seems to confirm the cruise is a real offering.

Why it matters

Twitch-focused events and cruises have a mixed track record, with some high-profile failures like the disastrous TwitchCon 2025. The Northernlion Supercruise represents an ambitious attempt to create a unique, immersive experience for Northernlion's dedicated fanbase, but it remains to be seen whether fans will be willing to pay the high price tag and commit to a multi-day cruise with the streamer and his friends.

The details

The Northernlion Supercruise will take place from March 8-13, 2027, departing from Tampa, Florida and making stops in Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico before returning to Tampa. The event will feature a variety of activities including meet-and-greets, Q&A sessions, live gaming entertainment, and the opportunity for two lucky guests to 'play with the pros'. Tickets start at $1,800 for a solo 'gamer' cabin, with more expensive 'duo queue' and 'squad up' options also available.

  • The Northernlion Supercruise was announced on April 13, 2026 during Northernlion's Twitch stream.
  • The cruise will take place from March 8-13, 2027, departing from Tampa, Florida.

The takeaway

The Northernlion Supercruise represents an ambitious and potentially risky attempt by a popular Twitch streamer to create a unique, immersive experience for their fanbase.
