Princess Cruises Announces Partnership with the Academy of Country Music

Princess Cruises has officially teamed up with the Academy of Country Music, becoming the esteemed organization’s official cruise line partner. This collaboration kicked off last month when Princess Cruises played a prominent role at the 59th ACM Awards Show, hosted by country music legend Reba McEntire. The cruise line made its mark on the red carpet, hosting interviews with artists and nominees on the Princess Stage.

Looking ahead, Princess Cruises will further solidify its presence in the country music scene by becoming the presenting sponsor of the ACM Live from the Red Barrel Lounge series. Hosted at the Academy’s headquarters in Nashville, this new summer series will spotlight performances from up-and-coming country artists, introducing fresh talent to the industry. Additionally, Princess Cruises plans to welcome some of these artists onboard its ships, providing guests with exclusive performances during their voyages.

The partnership extends to Princess Cruises supporting the ACM Honors in August, where the music industry will celebrate the achievements of the country music community.

John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises, expressed enthusiasm about the new partnership: “Princess is incredibly proud to partner with the ACM and to showcase the next big country stars. Country music has a special place in the hearts of many of our guests, and this partnership allows us to bring unparalleled experiences onboard to combine that love for cruising and country music in a unique and memorable way.”

This partnership marks a significant alignment between the cruising and country music industries, promising to deliver enriching entertainment experiences to fans and passengers alike.
