Carnival LIVE’S Fall 2016 Lineup Features Sam Hunt & More

More folks than ever are starting to realize the value of booking a cruise and a concert together. What am I talking about? Keep reading to find out details – Carnival LIVE’S fall 2016 lineup features Sam Hunt and two great comedians. What’ll it be?

Carnival Cruise Line recently announced the fall 2016 lineup for Carnival LIVE featuring country music star Sam Hunt as well as comedians Chris Tucker and Jim Gaffigan. In a unique entertainment experience that offers guests the opportunity to enjoy performances by major artists in the intimate setting of the ships’ main theater (which will hold between 900 and 1,300 folks), Carnival LIVE is a great value!

Carnival LIVE performances are held while vessels are docked in Cozumel, Nassau, Grand Cayman and Montego Bay.

 

Known for his innovative and boundary-breaking artistry, Sam Hunt will have audiences singing along and dancing in the aisles as he performs two shows while Carnival Fantasy and Carnival Splendor are docked in Cozumel on Oct. 19 and Oct. 20, respectively.   Hunt – who was recently nominated for a Grammy Award and has been honored with an American Music Award, a CMT Award and an Academy of Country Music Award – is the first country artist to chart all singles from his debut album in the Billboard Hot 100.

Grammy award-winner Jim Gaffigan brings his unique brand of humor with performances in Nassau aboard Carnival Valor Sept. 6 and Carnival Fantasy Sept. 7. Gaffigan is a New York Times best-selling author, top touring performer, and multi-platinum-selling father of five. He recently wrapped the first season of his critically acclaimed television show, The Jim Gaffigan Show, which, like his brand of humor, revolves around one man’s struggle to balance fatherhood, stand-up comedy and an insatiable appetite.

Famous for his starring role in the Rush Hour movie series, Tucker will keep guests laughing with his hilarious outlook on life with two shows – one aboard Carnival Freedom in Grand Cayman Oct. 25 and another on Carnival Dream in Montego Bay Oct. 26. After moving to Los Angeles to pursue his dream, Tucker was a staple on the Def Comedy Jam series before breaking into movies and continuing his popular stand-up comedy career. Most recently, he starred in a self-titled comedy show, Chris Tucker – Live, on Netflix.

These performances complement an array of shows by a variety of musical artists taking place aboard eight Carnival ships over the coming months.

Carnival LIVE tickets for Sam Hunt, Chris Tucker and Jim Gaffigan range from $30 to $75 for general admission, significantly less than land-based venues. VIP tickets are available for $100 to $250 and offer seating in the first five rows, a photo opportunity with the artist and a commemorative concert pass.

Carnival has also partnered with great voices the likes of Tim McGraw and Little Big Town and comedians like Jay Leno. Recently, Carnival has announced the coming concerts of Nick Jonas which is sure to sell out quickly.

A full listing of the 2016 Carnival LIVE concert series is available by visiting the web site, contacting any travel agent or calling 1-800-CARNIVAL.
