You're invited to experience the vacation of a lifetime as we sail through the Caribbean on the Norwegian Dawn, departing Miami on February 6, 2011 and making stops in Costa Maya, Mexico and Belize City, Belize. Join your hosts and a ton of your other favorite artists for this 5-day musical adventure as you discover new artists and get up close and personal with your favorite musicians.
