Music theme cruises are a popular option with today's vacationers - and for good reason. Cruise guests have the opportunity to attend live concerts, late night parties and small jam sessions with their favorite stars while sailing to some of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Now, some of country music's hottest names are giving their fans the opportunity to get up close and personal this year on an exciting cruise to the Eastern Caribbean.
Star of the blockbuster hit NBC show, "The Voice," handsome Blake Shelton continually heats up the country music world with his chart-topping smash singles. His latest album, Red River Blue - featuring hit singles like "Honey Bee," "God Gave Me You" and "Drink On It," ranked #1 on Billboard's charts. Blake is the winner of the Country Music Association's Male Vocalist of the Year and was named Male Vocalist of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards and Favorite Country Male Artist at the American Music Awards. In October, this smoldering hot country star is setting sail on Norwegian Cruise Line with more than 20 of his entertainer friends and fans are invited to come along.
The Blake Shelton Cruise will be held on October 14-21, 2012 on Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Pearl. The entertainment lineup for this country music event is simply amazing. Blake will give two live concerts on the cruise and live performances will also be given by the other country music stars as well. Blake's special guest on this voyage is Trace Adkins, one of America's top country music artists with over 20 Billboard country music hit singles to his name. His songs include such perennial favorites as "You're Gonna Miss This," "Ladies Love Country Boys," and "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk."
