Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

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."
