From The Top Shelf

From the Top Shelf Edition #4

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.

To tell you more about the event, on February 24, 2025, we initiated our From the Top Shelf newsletter, a series of notes intended to provide you with all the information you may need to learn about the cruise and how to complete a reservation.

This is the second edition of From the Top Shelf and is ready for reading. If you would like to review or reread the first edition, click here. We hope that you enjoy our information and that you will join us on the inaugural sailing of Top Shelf Country Cruise.

The Cruise

Top Shelf Country Cruise is a 7-night cruise on the ultra-luxurious Celebrity Reflection. The cruise departs from Ft. Lauderdale on 2.27.26 and returns on 3.6.26. The final ports-of-call and lineups will be announced shortly.

Performers/Entertainment

Your Headliner

Top Shelf Country Cruise will present Keith Urban, winner of four GRAMMY®s, 15 Academy of Country Music Awards, 13 CMA Awards and six ARIA Music Awards, as its headliner. The lineup of performers is not complete currently, but we are off to an amazing start!

The iHeart talent Team

At the heart of this cruise is the iHeartMedia talent team of Bobby Bones, Lorianne & Charlie, Amy Brown, Lunchbox and Eddie. They have made this cruise their own and will be there to greet you, sail with you and help you enjoy the programming. For several years now, Bobby Bones has been encouraged to host a cruise, but he was waiting for the right time, the right cruise partner and the right program.

Bobby Bones has selected Top Shelf Country Cruise to be HIS cruise program.

Additional Performers

Our complete lineup of Performers will be announced very soon. This information will be provided directly to you as soon as we have confirmed the lineup.

The Experience

What sets Top Shelf Country Cruise apart from other country music cruises? That’s easy: the pedigree of its talent and the diversity of its programming.

With Keith Urban and the iHeartMedia talent team confirmed and more first-rate acts to be announced very soon, this cruise program is committed to providing nothing short of the best, most in-demand musicians and personalities the country genre has to offer.

Alongside top-tier performers comes top-tier programming. Signature Cruise Experiences has been producing full-ship charter cruises for over 25 years and is unrivaled in creating a simply unforgettable week of entertainment — and the Celebrity Reflection cruise ship is the perfect vessel for a wide spectrum of musical experiences that offer something for everyone.

The Theatre is a multi-tiered venue perfect for nightly headlining acts that are sure to be the highlight of each day. The Sky Lounge is a great party spot for gameshows, dancing, karaoke and late-night entertainment.

The Pool Deck is tailor-made for festival-style outdoor shows, all set in a warm, breezy environment. The Opus Restaurant, our main dining room, transforms into a unique concert space for matinees and evening performances. Finally, the Ensemble Lounge serves as an elegant and intimate venue that invites you right into the performers’ worlds.

Add in delicious included and specialty dining options, a selection of drink packages, coffee bars, spa treatments and more amenities, and you’ll find that you’re in for a “Top Shelf” cruise experience you won’t soon forget.

The Value

There’s no getting around it: Seeing your favorite performers is expensive. Between plane tickets, hotel accommodations, show tickets, food and beverage costs and more, a trip to a country musical festival is pricey.

A country music cruise, though, offers unbeatable value for your money.

Top Shelf Country Cruise provides a nightly headlining performance and several additional shows at the ship’s other venues each day. The week will be packed with dozens and dozens of hours of musical entertainment. Your cruise price also includes:

• Breakfast and dinner every day in the Opus Restaurant and lunch on Days at Sea
• All-day buffet-style dining in the Oceanview Café
• Unlimited use of the ship’s state-of-the-art gym
• Full days at exotic ports of call
• Use of the ship’s sports court and walking track
• A pool deck for swimming and sunbathing
• Comfortable and relaxing stateroom accommodations

You’ll enjoy all of these amenities among fellow fans and even the artists themselves for as low as $500 per person per day. For lovers of country music, travel, adventure and a good party, there’s simply no better value.
