Wes Anderson to Celebrate Grand Budapest Hotel With Cruise


Wes Anderson is redefining The Life Aquatic this June with aGrand Budapest Hotel-themed cruise. The idiosyncratic writer-director will be joined byBudapestactors Tilda Swinton and Jason Schwartzman, as well as frequent writing collaborator Roman Coppola, on June 13th for a seven-day sailing expedition from New York to London. Passengers will cruise aboard Cunard Lines regal Queen Mary 2, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the unlikely jaunt is a victory lap of sorts for Anderson, in light of Budapests immense commercial success (earning $133 million worldwide since its March release the most for an Anderson film). The cruise will feature a special screening ofThe Grand Budapest Hotel, followed by a Q&A with the director and cast. Prices for the trek range from $1,298 to a whopping $18,948, but the hilarious memories will be worth it. (Can you imagine how fanciful Andersons swim trunks must be?)

The Grand Budapest Hotel,Andersons eighth feature-length film, earned strong reviews across the board, including high praise from Rolling Stones own Peter Travers: Its a filigreed toy box of a movie, so delicious-looking you may want to lick the screen, Travers wrote. It is also, in the Anderson manner, shot through with humor, heartbreak and a bruised romantics view of the past.
