Concert Cruises, Theme Sailings, and Greener Bars

Today on Cruise News: Margaritaville at Sea will bring its three-ship fleet — Paradise, Islander, and Beachcomber — together in Nassau on January 28, 2027 for a private Zac Brown Band concert at the Nassau Cruise Port Amphitheater, part of a five-year agreement guaranteeing 170 port calls and a projected one million passenger movements. Bacardi is expanding its reusable-packaging partnership with ecoSPIRITS after a Carnival Cruise Line pilot launched in August 2023 eliminated more than 130,000 single-use glass bottles and cut over 82,000 kilograms of packaging waste, using refillable ecoTOTE containers with SmartPour dispensing. And AIDA Cruises unveiled six themed winter 2026-27 sailings aboard AIDAnova and AIDAprima — spanning comedy, wellness, darts, a family program, Spanish nights, and a Norway ski festival — running from late November 2026 through late March 2027.
