Country Music Cruise Forms Partnership With Country Music Hall Of Fame And Museum

The Country Music Cruise and parent company StarVista LIVE have developed a new charitable relationship with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Beginning in January 2025, the cruise will feature fundraising and promotional activities such as a live auction and an exclusive cocktail party. All funds raised will directly support the nonprofit museum’s mission.

“We’ve had at least one Country Music Hall of Fame member perform on the Country Music Cruise every year since we started sailing in 2014, and our cruisers absolutely love their music and their presence on board,” says Mike Jason, President, StarVista LIVE. “This affiliation is a very natural way for us to support the mission of the museum.”

“For more than 55 years, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum has relied on the generous support of the music community, including people from all over the world who appreciate the music’s beauty and cultural significance,” shares Ben Hall, Vice President of Development, Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. “We are grateful for the support of the Country Music Cruise and StarVista LIVE for helping the museum continue its work to preserve and share the history of this enduring art form.”
