Pink Floyd Themed Cruise to the Bahamas - May 2009

"The Great Gig in the Sea"

Kiqstart Music, an entertainment company based in New York, NY and Think Floyd USA, the number one touring production of Pink Floyd in the country, announced plans to host the first Pink Floyd themed cruise aboard a Carnival Cruise Ship to the Bahamas. Dubbed "Great Gig in the Sea", the cruise will allow Pink Floyd music fans to combine sun and sea with an amazing concert experience.

The one-of a kind voyage will feature the music of Think Floyd USA: The American Pink Floyd Show, and will celebrate material from Pink Floyd's earliest days through the present. Think Floyd USA will take listeners on a musical and visual flight through the Pink Floyd galaxy performing all of Pink Floyd's classic hits from legendary albums such as Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and the all time classic, The Wall.

Think Floyd USA: The American Pink Floyd Show goes beyond the typical tribute act with an unparalleled performance and light show. They have performed before Roger Waters at Milwaukee's Summerfest and have received personal acclaim from David Gilmour himself. The band has been performing to packed houses at numerous arenas, theaters, festivals and casinos around the country, and will be the first tribute band to headline a stage at Milwaukee's famed Summerfest this summer.

"This cruise provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for Pink Floyd fans to come together and enjoy the exceptional music and memories of one of the most celebrated performing acts of all time, combined with a truly outstanding vacation experience," said Justin Seidenberg, co-owner of Kiqstart Music.

Cruisers should also be prepared to hear special shows each night, such as Dark Side of the Moon performed in its entirety. Dark Side has held the record for the longest duration of any album on the Billboard 200 and has sold over 40 Million copies worldwide. Other unique events will feature "special guests", Pink Floyd trivia, parties and games.

"We are excited to be a part of this unique concert experience. Floyd fans are so passionate about the band and love to get together to celebrate the music...its going to be a blast," said Mitch Blumfield, vocalist in Think Floyd USA.

Tickets are on sale now at GreatGigintheSea.com. Space is limited and pricing depends upon availability.

Too Expensive for me :P But Great Idea

Never been on a cruise before, but if I were to go on one, this definitly would be the one to do!

Sounds like an excellent idea! Probably a bit too expensive for a 15-year-old, but I can still dream.

Yea, maybe The Australian Pink Floyd Show.

My sister has been bugging me to go on a cruise and this might just be the one.

I had this idea before, but there would have been a stop in San Tropez on my ship

- just listened to Think Floyd...ehhh, I'm way too critical...PF is just so hot... The first thing i noticed was the drums have no balls. =( Just will have to skip this one.

What do you mean the drums have no balls?

I wish I could go on the cruise but I just got back from vacation in San Diego yesterday so I don't think I'm going anywhere anytime soon.
