NORWEGIAN Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) has announced the creation of a new Experiences at Sea division, built through the merger of its existing Charters, Meetings, & Incentives operation with the in-house Sixthman Festivals at Sea charter business.
The union’s first season will host 13 consecutive events over 66 nights in the northern spring, including an immersive multi-week fan-focused charter experience in celebration of the Rugby World Cup.
The newly formed brand will cover Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, with the first season to sail aboard Norwegian Pearl.
Voyages will cruise from Miami from 20 Jan to 27 Mar, calling on a variety of Caribbean islands, including NCLH’s private destinations of Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas and Harvest Caye in Belize.
Some of the cruises include The Rock Boat XXII, a five-day cruise hosted by Sister Hazel and featuring more than 30 acts from NEEDTOBREATHE, Neon Trees, American Authors, Lit, and more; On the Blue, a rock cruise hosted by Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues; and Chris Jericho’s Rock N Wrestling Rager at Sea.
Also part of the inaugural season will be Nursecon at Sea, the “ultimate nursing conference”; Sail Across the Sun, a four-day cruise hosted by Train, with performances from more than 20 artists including Fitz and the Tantrums, G. Love & Special, plus comedy from Nick Swardson, wine tastings and more; The Friendship, hosted by All My Friends and Gary Richards, DESTRUCTO, a music festival for electric dance music afficionados; The Beach Boys Cruise, featuring the namesake American rock band, as well as The Isley Brothers, The Temptations, The Righteous Brothers, Mark McGrath, and more.
Rounding out the season will be Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea, which will see Joe Bonamassa host a celebration of blues with more than 20 artists, featuring Little Feat, Dion, Bobby Rush, Robert Randolph Band, and more; Atlantis, which offers a carefree experience for the gay community; and the Broadway Cruise, in which guests can immerse themselves in the world of Broadway with special performances from Tony-Award winners Laura Benanti, Kristin Chenoweth, and Alan Cumming.
“We are thrilled to be collaborating with our expansive roster of artists and NCL client partners for a record-breaking 13 back-to-back immersive festival-at-sea cruises aboard Norwegian Pearl, bringing guests from an array of like-minded communities together,” Sixtman Chief Executive Anthony Diaz said.
