Once onboard, fans can expect to enjoy a performance by Joe
Bonamassa, a special reunion of Black Country Communion, multiple
artist collaboration shows, activities with many Blues Alive at Sea
artists, dozens of live performances by living legends and emerging
blues talent, and opportunities to jam with fellow cruisers while
sailing an idyllic Caribbean course aboard Norwegian Jade.
A destination of her own, Norwegian Jade offers guests Norwegian
Cruise Line’s signature freedom and flexibility during their
vacation. Fresh off a dry dock refurbishment where she received
enhancements to every part of the onboard experience, Jade now
features two brand new restaurants, two new bars and lounges,
updated design and décor in many public spaces, and a refurbishment
of all staterooms.
Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea’s first three sold-out voyages saw
the floating music festival sail to beautiful locations like Key
West, the Bahamas, Costa Maya and Cozumel, while entertaining over
5,000 blues aficionados. Performers included many of today’s best
blues artists, including John Hiatt, Robben Ford, Robert Randolph
and the Family Band, Blues Traveler, Beth Hart, Ana Popovic,
Vintage Trouble, Marc Broussard, Shemekia Copeland, Joanne Shaw
Taylor, and many more. The sold-out festivals raised a combined
$181,000 in donations for Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation, which
helps to fund scholarships and music programs for students and
teachers across the country.
Music enthusiasts can pre-register for the sailing now at
bluesaliveatsea.com/presale before cabins become available. Double
occupancy staterooms on Keeping The Blues Alive at Sea IV begin at
$1099 per person, plus taxes and fees. For more information about

About
Joe Bonamassa:
Joe Bonamassa has established himself as one of the world’s
greatest guitar players, and proved himself as an incisive and
compelling songwriter, a gutsy and soulful vocalist, as well as one
of the most popular touring-and-recording artists around, averaging
over 100 sold-out shows worldwide each year while amassing a body
of work that stands out in the already vast waters of the
blues-rock form. Even after 28 years of professionally performing,
the two-time Grammy®-nominated bluesman has really just hit his
stride. Joe currently has more #1 Billboard Blues Albums than any
other artist in history – 17 and counting – and all on his own
record label, J&R Adventures. His latest studio solo album,
Blues of Desperation, landed at #5 on the Billboard Top Album
Sales, his highest charting yet. Joe’s new highly anticipated
CD/DVD “Live at Carnegie Hall - An Acoustic Evening” will be in
stores June 23rd, 2017. http://jbonamassa.com/
About
