A recent article in the ‘Quirkies’ section of the Ananova news site, a subsidiary of UK mobile operator Orange SA, has claimed that luxury ocean liners in Russia are offering pirate hunting cruises to the Somali coast.

For £3,500 per day, you will sit aboard an armed private yacht hoping to be attacked by pirates. The ships cruise down the coast at a speed of five nautical miles, in a bid to attract the interest of pirates. Once under attack, you will be able to realliate with an assortment of weapons, which include grenade launchers, machine guns and rocket launchers. If you want an upsize, just pay an additional £12 a day, and you can get an AK-47 with 100 rounds of ammo.

For protection, you get a squad of ex special forces troops.
