Princess Cruises Partners with the Academy of Country Music

Princess Cruises, a well-known cruise line, has teamed up with the Academy of Country Music (ACM). This exciting partnership started at the 59th ACM Awards Show, hosted by Reba McEntire. At the event, Princess Cruises had a special stage where they interviewed artists and nominees live from the red carpet.

Starting on May 16, Princess Cruises will be the main sponsor for the "ACM Live from the Red Barrel Lounge" series. This series will take place at the Academy's headquarters in Nashville during the summer. It will feature exclusive performances by new country artists, some of whom will also perform on future Princess Cruises voyages.

John Padgett, the President of Princess Cruises, shared his excitement about the partnership. He said, "Princess Cruises is thrilled to partner with the ACM and introduce the next generation of country stars to our guests. Country music holds a special place in the hearts of many of our passengers, and this partnership allows us to offer unforgettable experiences that combine their love for cruising and country music.

"Princess Cruises will also be part of the ACM Honors in August. This event celebrates award honorees, off-camera category winners, and the ACM Industry and Studio Recording Awards.

The Academy of Country Music was established in Los Angeles in 1964. It is the longest-running Country Music awards show. In 2022, the ACM made history by exclusively livestreaming on Amazon Prime. The ACM has grown from a regional Southern California trade organization to a national powerhouse. Its mission is to promote new artists, artists on the rise, and established superstars, while supporting charitable causes through ACM Lifting Lives.

Princess Cruises has been a leader in the world of cruising since its first voyage from Los Angeles to the Mexican Riviera in 1965. The cruise line offers well-appointed staterooms, world-class dining, grand performances, award-winning casinos and entertainment, luxurious spas, imaginative experiences, and boundless activities on all 16 ships in its fleet. The line's signature Princess Medallion Class experience ensures unparalleled service and personalization.
