Nashville Cruise & Stay Holidays

Nashville is an inland city, so ocean cruises don't depart directly from Nashville. Our Nashville cruise & stay holidays combine a stay in Music City with a cruise departing from another US city, often Miami. This gives you the opportunity to explore Nashville before enjoying a Caribbean cruise, with flights and accommodation arranged as part of your package.

We generally recommend at least three nights in Nashville to experience the city's famous music venues, restaurants and attractions without feeling rushed. This gives you time to explore Broadway, visit iconic landmarks such as the Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium, and discover some of Nashville's neighbourhoods beyond downtown. If you have more time, there's certainly enough to keep you entertained for longer.

Absolutely. Nashville and Miami make a fantastic combination, offering two completely different sides of the USA. Enjoy live country music, Southern hospitality and Nashville's lively entertainment scene before flying to Miami for sunshine, beaches and Caribbean-inspired culture. From Miami, you can then join a Caribbean cruise, making this one of our favourite ways to experience Music City.

Our Nashville cruise & stay packages feature a selection of leading cruise lines, including MSC Cruises, Virgin Voyages, Celebrity Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line. From adults-only ships to larger family-friendly resorts at sea, there's a range of experiences to choose from. Available ships, itineraries and departure dates vary, so explore our latest packages to find the perfect combination.

Our Nashville cruise & stay packages are designed to bring the different elements of your holiday together, typically combining flights, hotel accommodation and a cruise. Depending on the itinerary, transfers may be included or a transfer credit may be provided. Some holidays also feature drinks packages, Wi-Fi or additional experiences. Check the individual package for its exact inclusions.

Yes, and it's a fantastic way to discover the musical heritage of America's Deep South. Our Ultimate Music Cities holidays bring together Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans, giving you the opportunity to experience country music, blues, rock 'n' roll and jazz in the cities that helped shape them. Selected itineraries finish with a Caribbean cruise, combining an unforgettable cultural journey with time to relax at sea.

Spring and autumn are particularly appealing times to explore Nashville, with generally pleasant temperatures for sightseeing and evenings enjoying live music. Winter is another option, especially if you're looking to combine a Nashville city break with a Caribbean sunshine escape. Cruise itineraries operate at different times throughout the year, so the best time to visit will depend on your preferred destinations and sailing dates.

Not at all. Although Nashville is famous for country music, its live music scene embraces everything from blues and rock to soul, pop and Americana. Beyond the music, you'll discover outstanding restaurants, historic neighbourhoods, rooftop bars, independent shops and an unmistakably welcoming atmosphere. Nashville has a way of winning people over, whether they're lifelong country music fans or visiting for the very first time.

While many of Broadway's honky-tonks welcome walk-in visitors, we'd recommend booking popular experiences such as the Grand Ole Opry ahead of your visit. Smaller venues like the Bluebird Cafe have limited seating, with tickets released relatively close to the performance date. If there's a particular show or artist you'd love to see, checking the official schedule and ticket arrangements before your holiday is a good idea.
