John Mayer rocks the boat

We’ve all heard of the Titanic, the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria, and most pertinently the Mayflower. But, when it comes to nautical travels, have you ever heard of the Mayercraft Carrier? It’s just the latest musically themed cruise concocted by Sixthman.

In the past this same company has been able to marry a maritime atmosphere with musical artists like Emmylou Harris, Barenaked Ladies, Patty Griffin, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. So what talented artist do they have stowed away for this next voyage? If you haven’t figured it out from the kitschy boat title, it’s none other than the guitar aficionado John Mayer. Musicians like Colbie Caillat, Brandi Carlile, and Soulive have also been recruited for this journey into the Caribbean.

With the Mayer Carrier (a.k.a. the Carnival Victory) set to leave port in Miami on Feb. 1, it might be the perfect vacation from the dreary weather that usually sweeps the nation that time of year. The cruise will dock in Freeport, Bahamas and return on Feb. 4. Cabins for the carrier start at $524, but are quickly selling out so it’s best to get on board with this as soon as possible.

Don't want to pour out the green for the trip? Well lucky for you, Paste is actually a proud sponsor of this wet and wild event, and for the time being you can enter to win a spot on this super fun cruise courtesy of your favorite music and culture source. Also, be on the look out for other Paste sponsored Sixthman events like the Cayamo cruise, featuring classic singer/writers, and the Ships & Dip III cruise which will headline with Barenaked Ladies. Both of these boats will be set to sail after the new year.
