The former American CIA, FBI, DOD, Canadian RCMP and Russian KGB intelligence and counterintelligence officers of the Centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies (CI Centre) in Alexandria, Virginia offer a variety of exciting espionage-themed excursions around the globe including Washington, London, Moscow and Hawaii. Called SpyTrek, those with an interest in the topic of spies can take unique vacations with an espionage theme hosted by real former spies and spycatchers. SpyCruise(TM) is an ocean cruise with the intelligence officers of the CI Centre who present daily lectures on real spy cases and espionage events. Call 1-800-741-1770 for reservations. Planned cruises in 2003 include: "Denial, Deception and Illusion," the theme while sailing aboard the Royal Caribbean's Legend of the Seas from San Diego to Hawaii. Learn how intelligence services have used "denial and deception" techniques to deceive other countries. Lectures include how the KGB protected their sources Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen, the deception story behind the Vietnam War, the real 'Mission Impossible' disguise artists who worked at the CIA, and more. The cruise is from March 27 to April 9, 2003 and spends the last half touring Hawaiian islands via the ship. Prices start at $1749. "British Traitors and Espionage" is the theme of the cruise sailing aboard Cunard's Queen Elizabeth Two on one of her last transatlantic voyages from New York to London.
