Once again Carnival partnered with Elvis Presley Enterprises and Sixthman to produce the Elvis Cruise, this year celebrating The King’s 75th birthday. The 4-day voyage set sail earlier this month on the Carnival Fascination from Jacksonville, Florida.Hosted by Elvis’ longtime friend Jerry Schilling, the cruise attracted 1,800 Elvis fans who enjoyed entertainment by a number of musical artists, including original members of Elvis’ own TCB Band and performances by winners of the last three Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contests: Shawn Kush, Brandon Bennett, and Bill Cherry.
In addition, guests had the opportunity to preview a special screening on a new Elvis documentary called “Homecoming: Tupelo Welcomes Elvis Home,” along with never-before-seen clips of The King. Another highlight was the unprecedented opportunity to hear Elvis’ stylist and close personal friend, Larry Geller, share many personal stories and memories.

Carnival Fascination operates 4-, 5- and 7-day sailings to the Eastern Caribbean and Bahamas year-round from Jacksonville.
