I wouldn't try that in anything that wasn't nullified. If you can afford it, a nullified T3 cruiser with a covert reconfiguration is your best bet, especially if you want to pve along the way. An interceptor or a nullified Yhat would also be fine. There are bubble camps along the rim... I mean it's just my 2 isk but some of those camps can be pretty intense.

There are bubble camps along the rim... I mean it's just my 2 isk but some of those camps can be pretty intense. Sadly I dont have the skills for tier 3 yet. I can't even fly a stratios yet.. Astero, helios or an interceptor (soon) are my options. I live in a country which has a funny primetime compared to the rest of the world which is an advantage in avoiding some camps (I have been caught by a few though). Maybe I will try an astero so I can hack relics and take on other explorers. It is a jack of all trades approach that should provide the most entertaining trip. Hopefully with careful use of the map and my strange timezone I will be able to navigate my way through. It is a long way though and odds are I will hit a camp.
If that is the case I would use an interceptor. While the Astero and Helios can warp cloaked, it won't matter on the rim if you hit a big enough bubble camp. Another thing to keep in mind about the rim is that it is waaaaaay out there by gate. The only common traffic is: alliance mission runners, alliance industrial-types, and other alliance-types. Basically... it's all alliance ops out there. If someone is casually exploring missioning or ratting or whatever, they aren't generally going to go that deep into null. It is however a fantastic pipeline for alliance fleets, and when it comes to big alliances and their bubble camps, time is not a factor. That last statement is just based on my personal experience, but unless you are doing your run near downtime, don't expect timezone population along the rim to look like highsec. It's different.
If it were me and I was just on tour and in your shoes, maybe try a Victorieux Luxury Yacht (~100mil isk), under the market at Ships -- Special Edition Ships -- Cruisers. You get interdiction nullification for free and can fit a covops cloak. The down side is the shuttle-like cargo bay. Still... safest way to fly in your situation. Just a thought.
