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.”

The world’s shortest commercial runway is getting a facelift.

The Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport on the Dutch Caribbean island of Saba is closing from Sept. 10 to Oct. 9 for a renovation to the world-famous runway, which measures just 400 meters.

The new project will replace the runway’s current asphalt layer will be replaced with a new concrete runway said to offer a “longer lifespan.”

During the four-week renovation project, tourism officials said there would be three additional ferry services from St Maarten to Saba, with ferries running twice daily in each direction.
