I'd prefer another tour. Fingers crossed!
Holy mother of sailboats! I assume they'll be announcing it any moment now officially, but I did a little Google search and found this:

Transatlantic, Spock's, Jon Anderson, King's X, Riverside, Flower Kings, POS, incredible!!!!!!
Stiff competition for Cruise to the Edge, I'd think.

"PROGRESSIVE NATION AT SEA 2014" MAKES ITS MAIDEN VOYAGE FEB 18TH THRU 22ND
FEATURING TRANSATLANTIC, PORTNOY SHEEHAN MACALPINE SHERINIAN, JON ANDERSON, KING'S X, SPOCK'S BEARD, THE FLOWER KINGS, PAIN OF SALVATION, RIVERSIDE, TONY HARNELL & BUMBLEFOOT, BIGELF, BEARDFISH, THE DEAR HUNTER, JOLLY AND NEXT TO NONE
Amazing lineup..probably at least 2 performances from each band. Doing some math, if you can make this work for $1000, and there are 10 bands you want to see, that's $50 a show...and a free cruise. Oh yeah, and Neal Morse and Spock's Beard are on the same bill...alas no Nick.
Yeah, I'm not sure why Neal Morse's band isn't on there as well...maybe the other members weren't available? It's being sponsored by InsideOut, and I don't know what their relationship with Neal is these days? Maybe he'll get added (and others).Originally Posted by ampevents
I'm really psyched to see that Jon Anderson is part of this. Would be awesome to have some of the other virtuosos on board to sit in with him during his set!
It would be cool to have one Spock's show with Ted, and another one with Neal, though I doubt that'll happen. Having seen many of these bands recently (at Rosfest and other places), I'd actually be most psyched to see the new Spock's, because their current album is amazing!
It'd be cool to have him sit in with Transatlantic.
Agreed. Great album.

Yeah, I think I'll be on this one
I'm pretty much giddy just thinking about it!
Ah well, I asked Mike if Neal's band would be added and he responded, "Are you trying to KILL me?? I'm already playing with 3 bands as it is!
Fair enough. I'll be seriously considering this voyage.
Good Lord. 40 shows by 14 prog bands in just 5 days? Oh the humanity!
Mike Portnoy's playing with Bigelf?

Holy crap! I'm not a huge fan of cruises, but I may just have to try to attend this.
InsideOut Music has teamed up with Mike Portnoy, Derek Sherinian and Sixthman to bring Progressive Nation to the high seas in 2014!
The inaugural sailing will take place February 18-22, 2014 on the luxurious Norwegian Pearl heading from Miami to Great Stirrup Cay and Freeport, Bahamas.
This music festival at sea gives you an experience that a land festival just can't match.
In addition to four days in the beautiful Caribbean and all the amenities of a cruise ship; you will enjoy music from morning until night with over 40 shows on multiple stages, along with activities, question-and-answer sessions, panels and workshops from your favorite artists.
Lineup:
TRANSATLANTIC
PORTNOY SHEEHAN MACALPINE SHERINIAN
JON ANDERSON
KING'S X
SPOCK'S BEARD
THE FLOWER KINGS
PAIN OF SALVATION
RIVERSIDE
TONY HARNELL & BUMBLEFOOT
BIGELF
BEARDFISH
THE DEAR HUNTER
JOLLY
NEXT TO NONE
Portnoy says: "In 2008 and 2009, I created a touring package called Progressive Nation and with DREAM THEATER headlining. We did three full tours (two in North America and one in Europe) that showcased a variety of bands that embraced the spirit and musicality of progressive music.
"Well, after a five-year hiatus, I have decided to resurrect Progressive Nation and this time we are taking it to the seas! But rather than a four-band bill like previous Progressive Nation tours, we have expanded the bill to over a dozen of today's greatest progressive bands, musicians and artists (and there may be one or two more still to be confirmed).
"Myself and my former DREAM THEATER bandmate Derek Sherinian have teamed up with Sixthman (who have done incredibly successful cruises with Kid Rock, LYNYRD SKYNYRD and the annual Kiss Cruise, to name a few), as well as our friends at InsideOut Music, and look forward to a very successful inaugural launch of Progressive Nation At Sea February 18th thru 22nd, 2014.
"We are so excited to take part in this historic maiden voyage and look forward to sharing this one-of-a-kind event with fans from all around the world!"
This music festival at sea gives music fans an experience that a land festival just can't match. In addition to four days in the beautiful Caribbean, guest will have the opportunity to see their favorite musical heroes perform numerous sets around the many stages set around Norwegian Pearl. And when guests are not attending a performance, a variety of activities hosted by the artists will fill the day.
Progressive Nation At Sea begins at $700 per person plus taxes and fees. Prices include entertainment, meals, and access to Norwegian Pearl's outstanding amenities, including outdoor pool, hot tubs, rock climbing wall, and fitness center.
With 15 decks of fun, Norwegian Pearl offers guests access to 13 bars and lounges, 19 dining experiences, one outdoor pool, four hot tubs, and spa treatments to help forget about the world left behind. Onboard concerts aren't the only things that rock on Norwegian Pearl — passengers looking for more activities can visit the outdoor climbing wall, bowl a few frames at the onboard lanes, or tempt lady luck at The Pearl Club Casino. Progressive Nation cruisers will also have the opportunity to explore the sandy beaches of Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, their very own private island getaway. A host of beachside activities and games, the gigantic "Hippo" water slide, and access to food and beverage service will make the stay on Great Stirrup Cay an unforgettable experience.

Here's the website, starting at just $700.

Wow.
Move over NEARFest I guess...
WANTED: Sig-worthy quote.
I can't afford a prog cruise, so I'm waiting for "prog bingo" or "prog canasta" instead, although they won't let us smoke cigs at the founder's hall. Bummer.
That advertisement looks horrible.
This is amazing and blows the doors off Cruise to the Edge (although I wish Moonsafari was on this). If I wanted to see 2013 Yes, they have played in my area many times. The Flowers Kings, Transatlantic, Riverside, Beardfish, thats another story! Since its an Inside Out thing, I hope Maschine gets added. This is the week we usually book our vacation so I am pumped!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Mr. Portnoy and the amazing Inside Out Music.

It wasn't me.
Holy shit, look at that list of bands!
I have enough miles for a free round trip flight and no vacations planned for next year. I'm about 80% certain I'm going to do this.
I signed up to pre-register.
Hah! I didn't even think it was you. It's just so horrible.
Be right back, I have to change my shorts...
You say Mega Ultra Deluxe Special Limited Edition Extended Autographed 5-LP, 3-CD, 4-DVD, 2-BlueRay, 4-Cassette, five 8-Track, MP4 Download plus Demos, Outtakes, Booklet, T-Shirt and Guitar Pick Gold-Leafed Box Set Version like it's a bad thing...
Didn't take long to figure that out.
Humina-humina-humina.....wow!

"I have nothing to do with Endless River. Phew! This is not rocket science people, get a grip." - Roger Waters, 2014
"I'm a collector. And I've always just seemed to collect personalities." - David Bowie, 1973
Wow, this is a great lineup! I guess these cruise-fests are the wave of the future. Yes, pun totally intended...
It will be interesting to see what the single supplement is for this cruise.
The mrs is not feeling this.
