Princess Cruises will offer a theme cruise hosted by Adam Savage, former MythBusters co-host, aboard Discovery Princess in November 2023.

Curious minds will want to join a specially-themed cruise hosted by Adam Savage, original co-host of Discovery Channel’s series MythBusters (and godparent to Discovery Princess!)

The theme cruise will happen aboard Discovery Princess from November 25-29, 2023—sailing roundtrip from the Port of Los Angeles on a four-day west coast getaway to San Diego and Ensenada.

Guests will be able to meet Savage, learn about his career through several hosted activities, and even have the chance to join an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Discovery Princess with Savage as guide.

“When I was asked what part of the ship I wanted to see during the christening of Discovery Princess in 2022, I chose the engine room and spent five hours learning about how the many complex systems onboard are able to efficiently—and almost invisibly—service thousands of customers’ needs. The scale of it is staggering, ” said Savage in a press release.

“Fresh off an Alaska cruise on Discovery Princess myself, I can’t wait to meet fellow passengers and share all the exciting below-deck technology I’ve learned about in science and engineering in general and cruise ships in particular. Also, I absolutely LOVE trivia—it’s going to be a fun time,” Savage enthused.

Adam Savage is also launching a video series about the construction of Sun Princess

In related news, Savage is launching an exclusive video series that takes viewers on a fascinating up-close-and-personal journey of the construction of Sun Princess. The cruise line’s latest ship is set to debut in early 2024.

Shot aboard Sun Princess at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, the first video in the series is available to watch now. The first episode reveals never-before-seen glimpses of the groundbreaking Dome and Sphere features, as the series reveals the ship’s birth from the ground up.

About Adam Savage

A special effects designer and fabricator as well as a TV personality and producer, Adam Savage is best known as one of the original co-hosts of the Emmy-nominated Discovery series MythBusters. Savage has dedicated his life to acquiring a varied range of skills that allow him to transform his imaginative ideas into real-life creations.

Savage has created a diverse range of projects during his career, including massive Buddha statues and futuristic weaponry, as well as exquisite fine-art sculptures and spacesuits. He has worked as a projectionist, animator, graphic designer, carpenter, interior and stage designer, toy designer, welder, and scenic painter.

In 1993, Savage began to focus on the special effects industry, honing his skills while working on over 100 television commercials and a dozen feature films, including Star Wars Episodes I and II, Galaxy Quest, and The Matrix sequels.

In 2003, he was chosen to produce and co-host the eight-time Emmy-nominated MythBusters. After fourteen years, 279 episodes, 1,015 myths, 2,950 experiments, and 83 miles of duct tape, that version of the series ended in March 2016. Since then, Savage has hosted MythBusters Jr. and Savage Builds, and today he is the editor-in-chief and lead content creator at Tested.com.

In April 2022, Savage—along with other Discovery personalities including renowned fashion designer Randy Fenoli, esteemed chef Alex Guarnaschelli, and real estate virtuoso Page Turner—officially named Discovery Princess, serving as the ship’s godparents in a traditional maritime ceremony at the Port of Los Angeles.

Fares for the 4-Day West Coast Getaway with Adam Savage from MythBusters & Tested start at $318 per person, double occupancy.
