Country Music Cruise Sets Lineup, New Ship for 2027
If classic country is your thing, and so are cruses, the Country Music Cruise is a way to double up your passions, see some beautiful places, and witness many of your favorite artists in more intimate settings. Set to set sail on February 7-14, 2027 for its 13th annual voyage, the cruise is upgrading to a new ship called the Celebrity Silhouette since the cruise regularly sells out, and 2027 is expected to sell out as well.
Clint Black, Wynonna Judd, Joe Nichols, The Bellamy Brothers, and Neal McCoy headline the week that will include dozens of more performers, and over 100 performances overall.
Other performers include The Malpass Brothers, Brothers of the Heart, Chuck Mead, Jimmy Fortune, Rhonda Vincent, Darryl Worley, T.G. Sheppard, Billy Dean, Moe Bandy, Wade Hayes, John Berry, The Isaacs, Gil Grand, Wood Box Heroes, 50 Shades of Hay, a Waylon Jennings Tribute with Tommy Townsend, and Grand Ole Opry at Sea.
The 2027 Country Music Cruise will embark from Fort Lauderdale, Florida on February 7th, and stop at both San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Philipsburg, St. Maarten before returning to Florida. Along with the musical performances, there are also Q&A’s with the artists, panel discussions about country music, and other events and activities.
“Over the last few years, the Country Music Cruise has sold out earlier and earlier, which is a true testament to the incredible music and wonderful experience offered to our cruisers,” says Country Music Cruise Executive Producer Mike Jason. “We will sail on a new larger ship in 2027 but one that maintains the intimate feeling the Country Music Cruise is known for.”
The Country Music Cruise also has a charitable relationship with the Country Music Hall of Fame, raising over $140,000 for The Hall over the last two years.

What a fun week that would be. My wife has talked about wanting to do a cruise someday. This would be my kind of cruise

The Outlaw country tour is quite a bit cheaper, with a better lineup for my money. The ports seem better too, but I’m not familar with St Martin or San juan so I could be wrong about that.

My wife would know more of these artists than the outlaw country lineup.
Larry Efaw, a bluegrass artist based here in Ohio also has a bluegrass cruise he does every November. It too is quite a bit cheaper.

You are a better man than I am. My wife would be getting the cruise, and I would be getting the music.

We liked it so much this year that we are going again next year.

This looks like a great cruise. Lots of great country music artists. Maybe I’m missing it, but would be curious about the cost.

I’d rather do the Outlaw Country Cruise or Guayamo. This lineup sounds like the last half of a 90s revival tour.

outlaw seems a lot cheaper too. I don’t know how food and drinks factor in for each thougth.

Sounds like a great line-up, especially with Clint Black & The Malpass Brothers. But I wish it was on dry land somewhere. Too many cruises lately have been rife with epidemics of Norovirus so I’ll pass on this. Don’t want to pay big bucks for a vacation that could put me in the hospital or worse.

That’s my only fear about cruises and that would be about my luck, to spend the hole cruise on the toilet.
The Malpass Brothers are doing a show down the road from me this evening.

Yet another Norovirus outbreak occurred on a cruise ship earlier this month. CDC reports that it is the fourth norovirus outbreak on a cruise ship since October 2025.

The Malpass Brothers are a hoot. For real. If I didn’t hate cruises so much I’d be tempted. Rhonda is amazing live too. I’ve had them both at Ragamuffin Hall.

Have you actually been on a cruise?
March 16, 2026 @ 5:51 pm
TO BAD THAT IS SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!
