What is 311 Caribbean Cruise 2013?
On 3-1-13, it’s 311 Caribbean Cruise, Round 3!
311 Caribbean Cruise 2013 is setting sail March 1-5, from Miami to Great Stirrup Cay for another private island adventure in the Bahamas!
We’ll be sailing on a new ship - the luxurious Norwegian Pearl. The Pearl is the perfect place for unity - there are various intimate venues and gorgeous spots to relax, bond and celebrate with your 311 family. Join a ship full of passionate 311 fans for sun & fun - heading towards an unforgettable 2-day private island party! During the 4-night cruise, you will see three 311 concerts & you and your cabin-mates will get a personal photo together with the band. There will be 311 themed activities and games throughout the cruise, and you’ll get to chill on the sandy white beach for two whole days, surrounded by your closest friends while jamming to the sounds of 311 & other great bands & DJs. We’re not leaving the music on the island - the ship will be rocking all day & night, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to catch some great shows!
311 loves these cruises and can’t wait to see you onboard!
Please note, there will not be a 311 cruise in 2014, so be sure to get on board the 311 Caribbean Cruise 2013!
