"I am really looking forward to performing on this luxurious ship in the beautiful Caribbean,” said country music superstar Martina McBride. “The intimate nature of the venue is a great opportunity to connect with my fans that rarely get to see me give this kind of performance. They are in for a great week of country music. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the show."
