Princess Cruises, Sound of Music celebrate golden anniversary together
Princess Cruises is teaming up with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment to celebrate a joint 50th anniversary of both the cruise line and iconic musical The Sound of Music.
Starting this month there will be a celebration of all things von Trapp aboard all 18 cruise ships with sing-a-longs, trivia nights, and other movie-themed activities.
The Sound of Music will be screened once on every sailing during 2015 on Princess Cruises on the Movies under the Stars open air screens, along with sing-a-long versions in the Princess Theater.
"The Sound of Music isn’t just a classic film – watching the movie together is a classic family activity. In a year in which both Princess Cruises and The Sound of Music mark their golden anniversaries, this is truly a fun and memorable way to join in the celebrations," said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises president.
Princess Cruises is also offering movie fans the chance to win a free cruise and a $500 onboard gift card every month until the end of the year.
