First Elvis cruise offers a “whole lot of shaking”
Carnival Cruise Lines and St. Louis, Mo.-based Jazz Cruises, LLC, a provider of full-ship charter music cruises, have partnered to offer “The Elvis Cruise.”
It’s said to be ”the first authentic, fully licensed specialty cruise that celebrates the music and life of the legendary Elvis Presley.”
The four-day cruise is scheduled to depart from Jacksonville, Fla., in August and will feature visits to Freeport and Nassau, The Bahamas.
The one-of-a-kind voyage will be hosted by Jerry Schilling, longtime friend and confidant of the late Elvis Presley, and author of the book, Me and a Guy Named Elvis.
Entertainment during the cruise will include live shows from artists who performed with Elvis and have been recognized for continuing his musical legacy, including the TCB Band, the Jordanaires, the Imperials, the Dempseys, Ronnie McDowell, Ruby Wilson and others.
A number of themed events also will be featured, including an Elvis tribute contest, open to all guests, which will award $10,000 in prize money.
Other activities will range from autograph and Q&A sessions with the musicians and hosts, to the Elvis Cruise T-Shirt Party, Elvis-themed bingo and more.
“This cruise provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for Elvis fans to come together and enjoy the exceptional music and memories of one of the most celebrated performing artists of all time, combined with a truly outstanding vacation experience,” said Bob Dickinson, Carnival president and CEO.
