Star-Studded Christian 'Music Boat' Sees Fast Sales
"The Music Boat" has become one of Premier Christian Cruises' most successful and unique annual "family fun in the sun" cruise events since debuting in September 2005.
Cabin sales for Music Boat 2008 went on sale to the public on Aug. 1 and are already surpassing even Music Boat standards, reaching a 50 percent sell-out in two weeks.
"We are very committed to the fact that the demand for 'family values' entertainment is at an all-time high," notes marketing director Robyn Klass. "Our vision for the Music Boat and all Premier cruise events is to provide a vacation experience that holds the potential of being a 'life changing' time investment, and in polling research from previous sailings, the Music Boat is exceeding all expectations."
