Fans of The Lord of the Rings will be able to attend conventions for JRR Tolkien enthusiasts on cruiseships bound for Belize, Bermuda, Bruges, Cozumel, Paris and Sydney. The trips, planned by Trilo3y Voyages, hope to offer access to the ring trilogy films’ cast members, directors and producers.

The advance promotion blurb tells prospective customers that after retirement, Tolkien lived in Bournemouth, which is famous for its beach, and the historic port of Poole.
