Marella Cruises hosted its first “Country Rhythms” cruise earlier this year, featuring a Dolly Parton impersonator.

“These impressive stats from our first country-themed cruise, alongside our market research, have shown that our new and existing customers are keen to explore new themed cruises involving beloved country music combined with our all-inclusive and end-to-end cruise offering. We’re excited to announce more news in the future for Country Rhythms 2027, so stay tuned.”
