With stages around every corner, fans will enjoy intimate performances, collaborations, spontaneous jams, activities and Q&A sessions with the artists, all while cruising from Miami on the beautiful Norwegian Sky to Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian’s private island in the Bahamas reserved just for Mountain Song at Sea guests.

"We have been big fans of the Mountain Song Festival and it is a privilege to be able to bring it to life in this unique way at sea" said Andy Levine, Founder and CEO of Sixthman.

Mountain Song at Sea fares start at $495 per person for double occupancy, plus government taxes and fees. Prices include entertainment, meals in the complimentary restaurants and access to many of Norwegian Sky’s amenities, including pools, hot tubs, spa, casino, sporting activities and the fitness center.
