Friendsgiving Celebration to Feature Live Performance by Multi-Platinum-Selling Band DNCE
MIAMI, FL, 2016-Nov-04 — /Travel PR News/ — November traditionally signals the beginning of the holidays, with people across the country feeling a bit more generous and, well, friendly. A spin-off of America’s time-honored Turkey Day, Friendsgiving has emerged as a growing holiday trend that brings friends together as a replacement for, or in addition to, more traditional, family-focused Thanksgiving festivities. This year, November also marks the U.S. arrival of Royal Caribbean’s newest and most adventurous ship yet, Harmony of the Seas. To celebrate, Royal Caribbean is bringing together the Ultimate Friendsgiving party onboard ̶ after all, what better way to celebrate friendship than on a ship named Harmony?
A champion of being adventurous and starting new traditions, Royal Caribbean is taking the holiday to the next level by transforming an exclusive VIP sailing, Nov. 10-12, into the Ultimate Friendsgiving celebration. In addition to custom Friendsgiving menus and cocktails, guests can challenge their friends on Harmony’s many thrills, including sliding down the 10-story Ultimate Abyss, surfing on the Flowrider, rock climbing, plus non-stop entertainment and dining. The party will culminate with an exclusive live performance by multi-platinum-selling band DNCE, fresh off their win for “Best New Artist” at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. They will be performing songs from their highly anticipated self-titled debut album, which will be released on Nov. 18.
