Wes Anderson is embarking on a 'Grand Budapest Hotel'-themed cruise.
The notoriously idiosyncratic writer-director will be joined by actors Tilda Swinton and Jason Schwartzman and writing collaborator Roman Coppola — but not, tragically, Bill Murray — on a seven-day sailing expedition from New York to London aboard the regal Queen Mary 2.
The trip is something of a victory lap for Anderson, following the unlikely commercial success of 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' (the film has earned $133 million worldwide so far; more than any other Anderson film). The cruise will feature a special screening of the film, followed by a Q&A with the director and cast.

Prices for the exclusive trek range from $1,298 to a staggering $18,948. Think of how much Mendl's you could buy for that money!
