Welcome to the Edition #4 of From the Top Shelf, your source for all things related to Country Music’s First-Class Cruise. If you missed any of the first three editions, or wish to read them again, you can find them on the Top Shelf Country Cruise website.
For the next few editions, we will share programming highlights for the cruise. This is the fun part! While there will be dozens of hours of music programming, live events and programming for you to enjoy on Top Shelf Country Cruise, the main attraction is, without a doubt, this edition of From The Top Shelf will focus on county music icon Keith Urban’s performance. |

Top Shelf Country Cruise Presents:
Keith Urban

When Signature Cruise Experiences began working with iHeart Media to create the best country music cruise in the world, securing the performance of a country music icon was our first objective. Keith Urban was our #1 choice and we are thrilled that he and his team are joining us in Nassau.
Our second objective is to make that show an amazing experience for each and every guest. Enter Nassau and its brand new $300M venue and port facility. As you can see from the photo below, we will be able to dock our ship immediately adjacent to the new amphitheater, which is located within the port facility. It is about a 10 minute walk from the ship’s gangway to the venue and, by the time the venue opens for our guests, our ship will be the only ship in port. |

Though the venue is called an “amphitheater,” it provides an intimate experience that can accommodate up to 3,000 people, a number slightly more than the guest population of our ship. This beautiful lawn setting provides unobstructed views of the stage and the event. Every sight angle is great. Everyone is close to the stage.
Since the Keith Urban show is exclusively for our guests on the ship, there will be ample room for everyone to move about and to enjoy the show.
Signature Cruise Experiences is known throughout the industry as master producers of live entertainment. While most of our productions have been on cruise ships, we have a long history of land-based productions, both indoors and outdoors.
Brian Rachko, our Production Manager, has 25 years of experience in the industry including huge touring shows, Disney Productions and more. Sound is his specialty, his passion and his domain. Brian and his team are working now to make sure that all the production elements that are part of a typical Keith Urban show will be included and presented.
Preliminarily, we are scheduling the show to start at 9 PM with the venue opening for seating at 7:30 PM. The Show Guidelines will be the subject of a later edition. Arrangements for those who need assistance with both arriving at the venue and seating will be announced as well.
Prior to the concert, there will be a Top Shelf Pre-Party onboard with live entertainment, food and drink. The showtime should allow for time to enjoy a great dinner on the ship in a variety of locations and formats. No one will go hungry. Food and drink may also be purchased in and around the performance venue.
Once the show concludes, guests will be treated on the ship to the Top Shelf Post-Show Celebration. With a Day at Sea following this night, there should be no curfew in force. Plus, by 1 AM, the ship will be sailing away from Nassau in the moonlight. If you have never been on a sail away, be prepared to be in awe.
In short, it’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime day, afternoon, show and night. |
