Atlanta, GA – SIXTHMAN — the industry leader in music festivals at sea — is celebrating fifteen years of setting the stage for moments that make life rock, and guests are invited to get in on the vacation action! As the pioneers of the themed cruise experiences, Sixthman tears down the walls between fans and bands, allowing guests to set sail on vacation together with their favorite artists. Beginning today, guests can enter to win one of seven 2017 spring sailings at Sixthman.net/sxmday. Prizes include cabin giveaways for The Outlaw Country Cruise, Turner Classic Movie Cruise, Walker Stalker Cruise, Pitbull After Dark Party, Sail Across The Sun, 2017’s sold-out 10^th Edition Cayamo and the sailing that started the music festival at sea movement, The Rock Boat!

On August 30^th, the same day The Rock Boat made its inaugural sailing in 2001, Sixthman is throwing open its digital doors and welcoming guests to join them in the celebration. Tune in to Sixthman’s Facebook Page between 10am and 4pm eastern where there will be live streaming meet & greets with the Sixthman crew members, sharing vintage videos and photos and announcing cabin giveaway winners every hour. In addition, hit songwriter and Cayamo alumni artist Chuck Cannon will offer up a special Sixthman Sessions performance live streaming around 2:30pm eastern in celebration of the company’s 15^th anniversary.

Since it’s first sailing in 2001, Sixthman has gone on to produce 94 festivals with nearly 900 artists, traveling to over 20 exotic destinations and hosting more than 200,000 guests for 835,000 vacation days over the past fifteen years.

On land and at sea, Sixthman guests are the STAR and are inspired to LIVE LOUD – from singing karaoke on stage or being in a guitar pick throwing contest with their favorite artists, to theme night parties, pool deck sail-a-way shows, concerts on private islands, artist-hosted belly flop contests and fan-band Q & A sessions. A Sixthman festival at sea brings non-stop performances across multiple stages, artist collaborations you can’t find on land and a truly immersive experience fueled by passionate fan communities. Experience the feel of a festival at sea at Sixthman.net!

In addition to creating moments at sea for guests, Sixthman and their cruise communities set the stage to serve others by giving back in the ports they visit and to multiple charitable organizations each year. During the recent spring sail season, guests of Sixthman festivals donated over 1,000 lbs. of school and medical supplies to children through Pack For a Purpose and raised nearly $20,000 for foundations such as Soldier’s Angels and Music Makes Life Better.

Sixthman’s festivals at sea have included vacations with world class artists such as KISS, Kid Rock, John Mayer, Zac Brown Band, Train, Pitbull, Paramore, Florida Georgia Line, Diplo, Joe Bonamassa, Lynyrd Skynyrd, 311, John Prine, Lyle Lovett, Chris Stapleton Barenaked Ladies, Sister Hazel and more with partners including Sirius XM Outlaw Country, Walker Stalker Con, truTV and Turner Broadcasting.
