Heather McMahan and Sixthman, the leader in festivals and music cruises for 25 years, are set for Round Two of the Heather McMahan Absolutely Knot Cruise, a four-day cruise experience sailing May 2-6, 2027, from Miami, FL to Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas aboard the luxurious Norwegian Jewel. First Round Pre-sale Signups are available now through April 26 at 11:59 pm (ET). Final Round Pre-sale Signups will conclude April 29 at 11:59 pm (ET). Public On-Sales begin May 1 at 2:00 pm (ET), exclusively at www.heatheratsea.com. Savings of $100 are available during the presale; prices will increase on May 11 at 2:00 pm (ET). The first 550 cabins booked receive their choice of either a photo with McMahan or early access to soundcheck for Heather’s second show, plus an exclusive Q&A (subject to availability).

The second voyage of Heather McMahan Absolutely Knot Cruise will see the acclaimed actress, stand-up, and podcaster headlining four unforgettable days packed with curated stand-up sets, live podcast recordings, theme nights, dance parties, karaoke, and more. In addition to a live recording of her hugely popular Absolutely Not! with Heather McMahan podcast, McMahan will perform three live comedy shows in the Stardust Theater – Norwegian Jewel’s largest indoor venue. Every guest will receive a ticket to attend ONE of those shows. All other comedy shows – in the Stardust, on the Pool Deck, Spinnaker Lounge, Atrium, elevators, and staircases (because you never know where comedy might strike) – are General Admission. McMahan will be joined on her Absolutely Knot Cruise by a legendary lineup that includes the just-announced hosts of Barstool Sports’ Chicks in the Office podcast, Francesca “Fran” Mariano and Maria “Ria” Ciuffo, plus Jackie Schimmel, Danae Hays, Raymond Padilla, Joe Dombrowski, Andrew Collin, musical guests Logan Crosby, John Stamps, and Matthew Stephens, and special appearances from Robin McMahan, Jeff Daniels, and Tina Tompkins. Show Me Your Mumu and Salty Locks Luxury European Hair Extensions will also be on board, and further entertainment will come from Ranch Hands Cowboylesque, drag shows, karaoke, yoga, and more. By popular demand, BOTH of Norwegian Jewel’s pools will be open to enjoy, and, yes, there will be plenty of white wine onboard to fuel the fun.

The lush Norwegian Jewel will pull out all the stops for Heather McMahan Absolutely Knot Cruise, with fully stocked bars on (almost) every corner, tasty dining experiences, the Pool Deck (with multiple hot tubs), the Jewel Club Casino, Mandara Spa, Body Waves Fitness Center, Sports Court, and so much more.

Beyond the onboard experience, Absolutely Knot cruisers will enjoy a spectacular shore excursion to Norwegian’s very own private island, Great Stirrup Cay, in the Bahamas, offering miles of gorgeous white-sand beaches, ideal for lounging, snorkeling, and more. Please note: Shore excursions will not be available until 4-6 weeks prior to sailing. Cruisers will be able to book an excursion upon receipt of their official booking number.
