A tiger cruise is an American naval voyage that allows civilians to accompany a sea-going United States Navy vessel.[1] The voyage allows friends and family of deployed sailors and Marines to spend time aboard a sea-going vessel to learn about the ship's day-to-day operations.[2] Civilians are sponsored by a Navy sailor or marine, who accompanies them on the cruise.[3]
