There's a David Hasselhoff fan cruise setting sail in November

Passengers will get the chance to meet the Baywatch actor on board

Quantifying somebody's fandom is an impossible task but we now know that David Hasselhoff thinks he has enough to fill a cruise liner.

This isn't just any cruise liner, though; no, this is the Costa Favolosa, a ship that's been rebranded The Official World Fan Cruise in celebration of the former Baywatch actor and it sets sail on 4 November from Savona, Italy filled with - you guessed it - die hard David Hasselhoff fans.

The six-day event will take passengers across the high seas to Spain and France before returning to Italy.

What's the point of this expedition, one might ask. Well, The Hoff - who will be on board for the event's entirety - has revealed all.

"Thanks to my fans around the world I can look back on an exceptional career in show business and there is much more to come! It is high time to give back the gratitude and fun that you bring me every day.

"I cordially invite you to this unique fan event with GEO Reisen: 'David Hasselhoff – The Official World Fan Cruise," he writes, making us at once wonder what an unofficial David Hasselhoff fan cruise would look like.

"I am looking forward to [cruising] the Mediterranean Sea on the Costa Favolosa along with my fans from Europe, the Americas, Africa and Australia!" he explains on checkintoevents.com. It makes you wonder what an unofficial David Hasselhoff world fan cruise consists of.

Prices begin at €699 (£596) and go as high as €899 (£766). There's even an exclusive fan package which will provide fans with a ticket to an autograph session and tickets to a Hoff concert.

This would have made a tiny bit more sense had he been promoting Sharknado 3, the 2015 TV film he described as "the worst movie you've ever seen."
