Alabama Announce Alabama and Friends Cruise Lineup

Alabama's fall 2013 cruise will travel the Caribbean with an ocean-view deck full of top country singers. The legendary country group has announced who will be joining them when the Alabama and Friends Festival at Sea event launches this October.

The four-night cruise through Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay will feature music from Alabama, Diamond Rio, Craig Morgan, Randy Travis, Steel Magnolia's Meghan Linsey and many more. In addition, fans and cruisers will get a chance to officially meet each act. Of course, they might be spotted strolling starboard side near sunset or soaking in the sun poolside, as well.

The cruise will take place on the Norwegian Pearl, departing from Miami, Fla. on Oct. 24. On board one will find 13 bars, 19 dining options, four hot tubs, one outdoor pool, an outdoor climbing wall, bowling alley and casino. According to the official cruise website, there will be quirky theme nights and special collaborations, in addition to a private beach party at Great Stirrup Cay.

The band is also celebrating their 40th anniversary together with the Back to the Bowery Tour. Owen, Teddy Gentry and Jeff Cook have dates scheduled through November.
