The line up for the Moon River At Sea Festival has been announced with both musical artists and comedians to set sail over four days on a cruise ship in November 2026.
Departing from Miami, Florida, and arriving in Nassau, Bahamas, from November 11-15, 2026, the four-day cruise is hosting a line up of 25 artists and 3 comedians in a first for the Moon River Festival. Headlining the cruise will be Old Crow Medicine Show and Drew Holocomb & The Neighbors. Other acts include Mat Kearney, Johnnyswim, Mon Rovia, Ellie Holcomb, The Brook & The Bluff and The Lone Bellow. There will also be three comedy sets from Dustin Nickerson, Jenna Kim Jones and Carly Bannister.
The move from Chattanooga to the sea voyage has garnered mixed reactions from festival fans, with the online announcement gaining comments such as “From the most affordable chill festival to the least 😔” from user @joyrebellion and “In *THIS* economy?! A cruise in November, right before a major US holiday? This feels so off from the usual vibe…really disappointing” from @jenntheduke.
As is expected with the shift from a two-day festival to a four-day cruise, the prices have dramatically increased, with cruise cabins starting at $1,440 per person. There are several cabin types available, from interior, oceanview, balcony, and club balcony to suites ranging in prices up to $8,065. A VIP two-day pass to the 2023 festival was $525, in comparison.
The first presale deadline is on September 14th, the second on the 21st, and the final on the 24th. The general public ticket sale starts at 2pm ET on September 26th. More information about the ticket sales can be found here.
