Love country music? Love the Caribbean?

This is for you.

Carolina Country Music Fest is launching a new country music cruise next year, a five-night cruise that will sail out of Charleston, South Carolina and feature some of the industry’s biggest stars.

The Carolina Country Music Cruise will sail to Nassau and stop at the private island of Princess Cays before returning to Charleston.

The cruise departs Nov. 16, 2019 and will return Nov. 21, 2019

“Carolina Country Music Cruise takes the best components of a cruise and adds in CCMF level entertainment,” said Shane Lawrence of Imagine Travel and Carnival Cruises. “You won’t want to miss this unique opportunity. It doesn’t get any better.”

The cruise will sail on the Carnival Sunshine cruise ship.

“Carolina Country Music Fest has been such a huge success. We are so excited for the opportunity to take the fun out on the high seas,” said Bob Durkin, of Carolina Country Music Fest. “We chose to depart from Charleston to make it convenient for our Carolina fans so they don’t have to fly. This cruise is going to be a country music vacation of a lifetime.”
