Disclosure: Greatful Moments received this information from Country Cruising/Flying Dutchmen Travel as a press release. The following article is based on the supplied announcement and information published by Country Cruising.
I following in my parents and grandparents steps and even David’s parents steps when it come to music. As for Charlie he follows in my brother’s steps because he likes Rap Music and even though he grew up on Country Music he will tell you he doesn’t like it now.
But then a song or artists will come on and I see him listening to the music at times which is why I wish I could bring my family on the Country Cruising 2007 Cruise so we could listen to much, meet the Stars and rest and relax while spending time with my family but there is no, way we could afford tickets for my family. But I thought you might like to go with your family and that is why I wanted to share the information with you.
If you love country music and have ever dreamed of combining a concert vacation with a cruise, Country Cruising 2027 is bringing a long list of country music favorites together for seven nights at sea. The 2027 sailing will take place April 11–18, 2027, aboard the Celebrity Summit, traveling from Tampa, Florida, to Cozumel, Belize and Costa Maya, Mexico. The official Country Cruising lineup currently includes dozens of artists and performers.
And two newly announced additions are especially interesting for country music fans: Cody Alan and Texas Country artist Bri Bagwell. Cody Alan Joins Country Cruising 2027 who is Country music radio and television personality will join the 2027 cruise.
According to the announcement, Alan is a five-time National Personality of the Year and a Country Radio Hall of Fame inductee. He is also known for his work with SiriusXM’s The Highway, television appearances and interviews with country artists. Country Cruising describes Alan as bringing his energetic personality and humor to the cruise, giving passengers another opportunity to experience the personality behind countless conversations with country music artists. The official Country Cruising website currently lists Alan among the performers and personalities scheduled for the 2027 sailing.
Bri Bagwell Brings Texas Country to the Ship. Texas Country fans have another reason to pay attention. Bri Bagwell, who has been recognized as Texas Female Artist of the Decade and a nine-time Female Vocalist of the Year, is joining the Country Cruising lineup.
Bagwell has 15 No. 1 singles on Texas Country Radio, according to the announcement and Country Cruising’s artist information. She is based in New Braunfels, Texas, and continues to tour and release music. Her addition also gives the cruise a strong Texas Country and Red Dirt connection, joining previously announced Texas artists Kin Faux and Maddie Rose.
Bagwell’s career has included songwriting, touring and performances with major country artists. She also hosts the podcast ONLY VANS, which gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at life on the road. For Texas country music fans, having Bagwell, Kin Faux and Maddie Rose on the same sailing makes this more than a cruise with a few country performers—it gives the trip a distinctly Texas flavor.
Randy Travis and More Life Tour Also Onboard. One of the biggest names already announced for Country Cruising 2027 is Randy Travis, whose More Life tour featuring lead vocalist James Dupré will perform onboard with Travis’s original band.
The official lineup also includes Russell Dickerson, Craig Morgan, Drake White, Hannah Dasher, Alana Springsteen, David Nail, Paul Overstreet, James Otto, Maggie Baugh, Whey Jennings, Will Banister and many others. The current lineup is extensive, with Country Cruising describing the experience as a seven-night country music festival at sea featuring both established artists and emerging performers.
More Than Concerts. Country Cruising isn’t simply about attending concerts from a cruise ship.
The cruise’s advertised activities include:
Artist meet-and-greets
Acoustic sessions
Line dancing
Cowboy Karaoke
Late-night jam sessions
Whiskey tastings
Celebrity poker
Pool and onboard entertainment
Time to explore the ship and ports of call
The official Country Cruising site describes the event as an intimate festival-at-sea experience with opportunities to interact with select artists. Sailing From Tampa to Mexico and Belize. The 2027 cruise departs from Tampa, Florida, on April 11, 2027, and returns April 18 after visiting Cozumel, Belize and Costa Maya.
The ship for the 2027 sailing is Celebrity Summit, which offers multiple dining venues, lounges, pools, spa facilities, entertainment and a variety of stateroom and suite options. For travelers who want to combine their love of country music with a vacation, that makes the cruise itself part of the experience rather than simply transportation between concerts.
A Country Music Vacation at Sea: There is something appealing about not having to choose between a music festival and a vacation. Country Cruising 2027 brings performances, artist interactions, dancing and other country-themed activities together with a weeklong Caribbean cruise.
With Cody Alan joining the event and Bri Bagwell bringing her Texas Country sound aboard, the lineup continues to grow. And with Randy Travis and his More Life tour, Russell Dickerson, Craig Morgan, Drake White, Hannah Dasher, Alana Springsteen, David Nail and numerous other artists already announced, country music fans have plenty of names to watch as the 2027 sailing approaches.
