Flying Dutchman Travel has announced its seventh Country
Cruising adventure, set to sail in Spring 2027 aboard Celebrity
Summit.
The seven-night cruise departs from Tampa, Florida on April
11, 2027, for a Western Caribbean voyage with port calls in Cozumel, Belize and
Costa Maya. The star-studded country
music lineup includes Randy Travis and his More Life Tour, Craig
Morgan, Paul Overstreet, and James Dupré, as well as fan-favorites from the last
sailing, Whey Jennings, Dirty Grass Soul, and Chad Bushnell.
Randy Travis will bring his More Life Tour to
Celebrity Summit featuring lead vocalist James Dupré. Dupré will perform
classic hits from the legend’s iconic career, with his original touring band to
celebrate Travis’ everlasting legacy. The seven-time GRAMMY award winner will
be onstage with his wife Mary, interacting with fans as he is unable to sing
due to aphasia from his 2013 stroke. In 2025, the tour played over 50 venues to
60,000+ fans across the country. In addition to the More Life Tour
shows, special programming will pay tribute to the Country Music Hall of Fame
member throughout the week.
Dupré will also perform his own sets including favorites
from recent solo projects, It’s All Happening and Perfect Time. Dupré was a
season nine contestant on NBC’s The Voice, as a representative of team Adam
Levine. The Rolling Stone “Country Artist You Need to Know” continues to
release music while touring the nation with Randy Travis’ More Life Tour
as the recurrent lead vocalist.
Singer, actor, author and soldier Craig Morgan has amassed
more than 2.5 billion career streams and over 25 songs on the Billboard charts.
A 2008 inductee of the Grand Ole Opry, his music has spanned two decades with
hits that include “Redneck Yacht Club,” “Almost Home,” “Soldier,” and “That’s
What I Love About Sunday.” Prior to becoming a country music star, Craig spent
17 years in the Army and Army Reserve and in 2023 reenlisted, continuing his
military career as a Chief Warrant Officer 2.
Renowned Country singer/songwriter Paul Overstreet will
head up one of Country Cruising’s biggest fan favorites, the heralded
Songwriters Rounds. Featuring fellow artists on the ship, alongside
Overstreet’s track record of hit songs like “When You Say Nothing At All,”
“Forever and Ever, Amen,” and “Deeper Than The Holler,” the two-time GRAMMY
award winner brings his influence and expertise to the party. Accolades during
his 40+ year career include multiple ACM, CMA, and Dove Awards. The NSAI
Songwriter’s Hall of Famer released his latest single, “Doin’ It to Country
Songs” in June 2026 to Texas Radio.
Country musician Whey Jennings, Bluegrass/southern rock band
Dirty Grass Soul, and Americana vocalist Chad Bushnell return to Country
Cruising following their notable 2025 onboard performances.
Additional artists include Russell Dickerson, Hannah Dasher,
David Nail, Drake White, Jacob Tolliver, Alana Springsteen, Tierra Kennedy,
James Otto, KC Johns, Maggie Baugh, Mike Biz, Tyra Maddison, Maddie Rose,
Dawson Steagall, FILMORE, and Texas band Kin Faux.
The 2025 cruise sailed from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to
Nassau, Bahamas, featuring rum tastings, poker tournaments, live podcasts, and
line dancing. Country voyagers were also invited to take part in multiple shore
excursions including food tours, dolphin watches, ecological adventures, and
snorkeling. Emceed by award-winning radio broadcaster Storme Warren, the ship
hosted 2,000 country music fans of all ages.
