“Nile Rodgers is the perfect artist to kick off this new chapter of our Red Hot Sailing Club Voyage,” says Jamie Douglas, director of design, innovation and immersive experience.
“He's spent decades breaking boundaries and bringing people together through music, which is exactly what we're all about. This evolution of our Celebration Voyages reflects our commitment to creating deeper connections with our Sailors. When you have a legend like Nile performing beneath the Caribbean sunshine, you know you're in for something truly special.”
