If you are looking for a vacation with good music, then this is the opportunity for you.
Premiere Christian Cruises with
World Hope sponsors an annual event called, The Music Boat, a cruise featuring some of the best Christian/Gospel artists and speakers. In past years, the cruise featured acts such as Third Day and the David Crowder Band. This year, the cruise is hosted by the
Newsboys and features artists such as
Brandon Heath,
Chris Tomlin (a recent addition),
Israel Houghton and New Breed,
MercyMe,
Sanctus Real, and
KJ-52.
The Music Boat will also have events for the children (complete with Bob and Larry from "
Veggie Tales"), teens, and singles. If you like to buy books and/or albums from the artists/speakers, there will be a bookstore on board as well.
The events will take place on the
Carnival Imagination, a ship that includes 9-hole mini golf, a water park on deck, a resort-style pool, and other highlights. The ship will leave Miami on November 7, and travel to Key West and Cozumel, Mexico before returning on November 11. Throughout the trip, you will enjoy concerts every day, culminating to a huge finale concert on the last night.
If you think this is a good vacation, go to
The Music Boat's website for more information and to book your cabin. But do it fast...as of this writing, it's already 50% full!
UPDATE (May 1, 2011): The cruise is now 60% full!
