“Fun, sun, and boot scootin' on the pool deck while island hopping through the Caribbean immersed in all things country music, now that sounds like a vacation,” said Jeff Cuellar, Sixthman CEO.
Norwegian Gem will pull out all the stops for the Country Music floating festival, with fully stocked bars on (almost) every corner, tasty dining experiences, the Pool Deck (with multiple hot tubs), the Gem Club Casino, Mandara Spa, Body Waves Fitness Center, Sports Court, and so much more.
“Vibee and Sixthman have joined forces to bring the spirit of country music and the iconic Nashville scene to the seas,” said Harvey Cohen, President of Vibee. “‘Boots on the Water' guests will have the opportunity to not only see an incredible slate of ‘90s and 2000s country artists and talented songwriters perform up-close but will do so while traveling in the paradise of the Caribbean! Music is always at the center of the Vibee experience, and we're excited for adventurers to join us and some of their favorite artists on this unique journey.”
Beyond the onboard experience, Boots on the Water cruisers will have the chance to enjoy unforgettable shore excursions in Nassau, Bahamas (the ultimate vacationer's paradise with its laid-back vibes, palm trees covered in coconuts, and refreshing, crystal-clear waters) and Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas (offering gorgeous white sand beaches, ideal for snorkeling and swimming with pigs). Shore excursions will not be available until 4-6 weeks prior to sailing. Guests will be able to book excursions upon receipt of their official booking number.
