Atlanta, GA – GRAMMY Award® winning rock band Train and Sixthman, the industry leader in festivals at sea, have partnered once again to host the fourth voyage of the Sail Across the Sun music and wine festival. Pairing a variety of widely appealing musical acts with an equally broad array of wine and onboard activities, this year’s Sail Across the Sun cruise will host more than 2,000 guests as they travel between Tampa, Florida, and Costa Maya, Mexico February 15-19, 2017 aboard the beautiful Norwegian Jade.

Sail Across the Sun vacationers will be treated to dozens of musical performances over four nights, including three headlining performances from their roots-rocking hosts, Train. Two of those sets will be in the band’s full electric glory, while the other will be presented in an intimate, acoustic format.

The diverse musical lineup features folk-inflected pop rocker Matt Nathanson, genre-defying Michael Franti & Spearhead, Brit-pop songbird Natasha Bedingfield and positivity-spreading hip-hop group Arrested Development. They’ll be joined by a wide array of musical acts including Toad the Wet Sprocket frontman Glen Phillips, Yacht Rock Revue, Simplified, Bastard Bearded Irishmen and Headphone Disco. Former Saturday Night Live comedian Jim Breuer and yogi John Jessum are special guests on board, and more musical acts will be revealed in the coming months.
 

“Sail Across The Sun is all about spending time with friends, new and old,” says Train’s Pat Monahan. “We’re excited to bring some fresh faces aboard to join our party at sea."

More than a vacation, Sail Across the Sun is a journey of thrilling offerings —cruisers will have the opportunity to take part in wine tastings with James Foster, including Train’s own Save Me, San Francisco Wine Co., adding a relaxed glow to special activities, autograph sessions and unpredictable collaborations that seem to take shape at the popping of a cork.

A destination of her own, Norwegian Jade offers guests Norwegian Cruise Line’s signature freedom and flexibility to enjoy 11 onboard bars and lounges, 15 dining experiences, one outdoor pool, hot tubs, and a full menu of spa treatments. Guests can enjoy access to other entertainment on the ship as well, whether it’s a game of soccer or basketball on the sports court, a workout in the fitness center or tempting lady luck with a few hands in the casino, Norwegian Jade has you covered. Audiophiles and vinophiles alike will enjoy a daylong excursion to Costa Maya, Mexico, where stunning beaches and ancient Mayan ruins await adventurous travelers.
 
Double occupancy Sail Across the Sun staterooms begin at $925 per person, plus taxes and fees. For more information about booking your vacation, visit us online at sailacrossthesun.com or call Sixthman directly at 877-379-9177 between the hours of 10am ET and 6pm ET.

ABOUT TRAIN:
Train is a multi-GRAMMY and Billboard award-winning band from San Francisco, CA that has had more than a dozen songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 list since the release of their debut self-titled album. Train's climb to the top began in San Francisco in 1994, as the original 5-member band tenaciously built a loyal following, leading up to their own self-titled debut album, released by Columbia in 1998.  The tumbling wordplay of "Meet Virginia" gave them their first unlikely radio hit and 2001’s Drops Of Jupiter broke them to multi-platinum status thanks to the double-GRAMMY award-winning title song that spent 10 months in the Top 40, and snaring the Best Rock Song GRAMMY award by beating out Coldplay and two U2 songs.  The group won another GRAMMY award in 2011 for their global hit “Hey Soul Sister,” the #1 best-selling smash and most downloaded single of 2010, from their multi-platinum album Save Me, San Francisco.  Next was 2012's California 37, which launched the hit "Drive By" reaching the Top 10 in 13 countries. They've sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, more than 30 million tracks, with multiple platinum/gold citations, including 3 GRAMMY awards, 2 Billboard Music Awards and dozens of other honors. In 2014 Bulletproof Picasso—the band’s 7th studio album—debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200 and earned rave reviews. Last winter, Train announced the release of their first ever holiday album, Christmas in Tahoe, bringing their signature sound to holiday classics as well as three original songs. Additionally, Train's award-winning Save Me, San Francisco Wine Co. has recently released their 6th varietal, 'Bulletproof Picasso' sauvignon blanc. Proceeds from the wine support Family House, a San Francisco charity that supports families of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
