Love a good political fight? This cruise is for you

[mercedes]

Even the most refined ships on the high seas, it seems, are no refuge from the never-ending political talk that fills America's airwaves.

Case in point: The announcement today from luxury line Crystal Cruises that the famously provocative political duo Mary Matalin and James Carville will be holding court -- and squaring off -- this summer on the Crystal Serenity as it sails in the Mediterreanean.

Crystal promises the husband-and-wife team -- who despite years of marriage remain stubbornly on the opposite ends of the political spectrum -- will debate the political world's hottest topics while on one of the vessel's late July sailings even as they dish on current newsmakers and analyze the year's political headlines.

The 12-day sailing begins on July 28 in Venice and ends in Athens; it includes stops in Corfu, Rhodes and Mykonos, Greece; and Bodrum and Istanbul, Turkey. Fares start at $6,055 per person, double occupancy (book now and get a $1,000 per person shipboard credit).

Not a fan of politics? How about fine cuisine? In addition to Matalin and Carville, the guest speaker list for the voyage includes award-winning chef Nobu Matsuhisa.
