The '''Furry Cruise''' is an event involving [[furries]] booking as a group on a cruise ship. It takes place on an annual basis, and started in 2005. Many take [[fursuit]]s and entertain themselves and the other cruise members. It is only one of two furry conventions/meets where most (if not all) of the activities take place in a sailing ship rather than on land (the other being [[RBW]]).
