Your taste buds will flourish with the flavors of the South during our midday cruise followed by our new country music variety show, Nashville Live! The world-class cast includes two rising country artists, an internationally acclaimed trick-roper, a country comedian and features fiddle and guitar soloists, all supported by a live country band. The show’s repertoire spans classic hits by Patsy Cline, George Jones and Tammy Wynette through today’s chart-topping hits by Jason Aldean, Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts.

Evening Dinner Cruise and Heart of Tennessee – A Musical Journey show:

HOT COUNTRY NIGHTS features the music that made Nashville famous, country music. Hosted by Perry Danos, it features six, rising country voices with a genuine, live country band. Sparkling costumes, dynamic choreography and spectacular country harmonies are all supported by a dazzling lighting and media display. Our show features great production numbers of chart-topping entertainers from today’s country music like Blake Shelton & Carrie Underwood, among many more. We pay tribute to the songs and stars of the 90’s, when country music was the most popular music in the world, with songs by Garth Brooks, Faith Hill, Brooks and Dunn and more. You’ll hear a fresh twist on familiar melodies from the Golden Age of country music with the music of Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams and others. It’s a fast paced, rollicking, country music journey from the roots of country to today’s award-winning country superstars.
