Nashville, TN – In a time when people more than ever want to get away and forget about the daily grind, and most especially, the anxiety of 2020, a tropical getaway marinated in a stout and seasoned Texas country music broth tops the list. The inaugural Rock The Coast “Texas Country At Sea” voyage will set sail April 12th through April 17th, 2021 leaving from the port in Galveston, Texas heading to Yucatán (Progreso) & Cozumel, Mexico. This 5-night cruise will most definitely put the wind back in your sails as you head out into the open sea escorted by some of the finest artists in Texas country, Red Dirt, Folk and Americana music. The cruise will feature performances, meet & greet opportunities, autograph sessions and, of course, the luxuries of the Carnival Dream cruise liner and the charming culture of the port cities. The inaugural music lineup includes Stoney LaRue, Deana Carter, Sundance Head, Josh Ward, Cody and Willy Braun of Reckless Kelly, Mike McClure, Brandon Rhyder, Curtis Grimes, Rich O’Toole, Jason Eady, Courtney Patton, Adam Hood, David Adam Byrnes, Holly Tucker, Cooper Wade, Kayla Ray, DJ DU, and brand ambassador James Huling from CBS’ Big Brother season 17 and 18. Rock The Coast is a private group aboard the ship so tickets and event passes must be booked directly through Rock The Coast. Visit www.rockthecoasttx.com for more information and booking options.
“Come join us in 2021 on the Rock The Coast cruise! As if we didn’t all need to a reason to get away already, but have you looked at this lineup? It’s solid country gold! I can’t wait!” -Brandon Rhyder
“I haven’t done a cruise since the Cross Canadian Ragweed days and I always enjoyed them thoroughly. Some of my fondest memories are the amazing dinners and meeting new lifelong friends. The casinos are a blast and the food is truly a sight to behold 24/7. It feels good to be there and nowhere else for a true vacation. I am looking forward to playing with peers and meeting you very soon!” –Stoney LaRue
“I am super excited to be partnered up with Rock The Coast “Texas Country At Sea.” It’s going to be 5 nights jammed packed with some of my favorite Red Dirt country artists and I can’t wait for this event. I will see you guys on board!”
-James Huling
About Carnival Dream: The ship itself is a unique experience with the way-fun RedFrog Rum Bar and the very cool BlueIguana Tequila Bar. Get your appetite ready, because you’re gonna need it. Carnival Dream features two dual-level dining rooms, a gourmet steakhouse and dedicated sushi spot Bonsai Sushi. It’s also got a full menu of our latest and greatest casual spots for a bite: BlueIguana Cantina, Pizzeria del Capitano, Guy’s Burger Joint and Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse. (That’s Guy as in Guy Fieri, by the way — so you know the food’s delish.)
Carnival Dream also features the borderline-magical Alchemy Bar and Ocean Plaza, which combines tasty treats with perhaps even tastier entertainment. Entertainment options are all up and down the ship, and so is soaking-wet fun, from the heart-racing waterslide action at WaterWorks to the soul-soothing Thalassotherapy pool at the Cloud 9 Spa.
