Grand Ole Opry Country Classic Cruise on Royal Caribbean

Country music fans, your new ship has come in. And it's a big one.
 

Next year country music fans can set sail on the world's second largest cruise vessel, Royal Caribbean's 160,000-ton, 3,646-passenger Freedom of the Seas.

The seven-night voyage to the Eastern Caribbean kicks off on  Jan. 30 in Port Canaveral and include performances by Grand Ole Opry legends Charley Pride, Jim Ed Brown and Jeannie Seely.

Also performing during the voyage is newcomer Chris Young, nominated for the Top New Solo Vocalist award by the Academy of Country Music. Country singer Helen Cornelius will be a special guest.
 
The voyage will mark the Opry's 14th annual cruise, but it'll be first to take place on a Royal Caribbean ship. Last year the trip occurred on the Carnival Valor.

In addition to private performances, participants will be able to take part in classic country karaoke sessions with celebrity guests and an exclusive cocktail party.
 
The voyage includes calls in St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's private island destination in the Bahamas. Rates start at $1,158 per person, based on double occupancy.
