Portnoy says: "In 2008 and 2009, I created a touring package called Progressive Nation and with DREAM THEATER headlining. We did three full tours (two in North America and one in
Europe) that showcased a variety of bands that embraced the spirit and
musicality of progressive music.
"Well, after a five-year hiatus, I have decided to resurrect Progressive Nation and this time we are taking it to the seas! But rather than a four-band bill like previous Progressive Nation tours, we have expanded the bill to over a dozen of today's greatest
progressive bands, musicians and artists (and there may be one or two
more still to be confirmed).
"Myself and my former DREAM THEATER bandmate Derek Sherinian have teamed up with Sixthman (who have done incredibly successful cruises with Kid Rock, LYNYRD SKYNYRD and the annual Kiss Cruise, to name a few), as well as our friends at InsideOut Music, and look forward to a very successful inaugural launch of Progressive Nation At Sea February 18th thru 22nd, 2014.
"We
are so excited to take part in this historic maiden voyage and look
forward to sharing this one-of-a-kind event with fans from all around
the world!"
This music festival at sea gives music fans an
experience that a land festival just can't match. In addition to four
days in the beautiful Caribbean, guest will have the opportunity to see
their favorite musical heroes perform numerous sets around the many
stages set around Norwegian Pearl. And when guests are not attending a
performance, a variety of activities hosted by the artists will fill the
day.
Progressive Nation At Sea begins at $700 per person
plus taxes and fees. Prices include entertainment, meals, and access to
Norwegian Pearl's outstanding amenities, including outdoor pool, hot
tubs, rock climbing wall, and fitness center.
With 15 decks of
fun, Norwegian Pearl offers guests access to 13 bars and lounges, 19
dining experiences, one outdoor pool, four hot tubs, and spa treatments
to help forget about the world left behind. Onboard concerts aren't the
only things that rock on Norwegian Pearl — passengers looking for more
activities can visit the outdoor climbing wall, bowl a few frames at the
onboard lanes, or tempt lady luck at The Pearl Club Casino. Progressive
Nation cruisers will also have the opportunity to explore the sandy
beaches of Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, their very own private island
getaway. A host of beachside activities and games, the gigantic "Hippo"
water slide, and access to food and beverage service will make the stay
on Great Stirrup Cay an unforgettable experience.
