SANTA CLARITA, Calif.,
Aug. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Princess Cruises brings the excitement and spectacle of
TV's wildly popular international singing competition to the high
seas, live and on-stage, with The Voice of the Ocean. The
show comes to life throughout the cruise with auditions, mentor
rehearsal sessions, the iconic "I Want You" chairs, three
charismatic team coaches and ultimately a live finale performance
where guests choose the winner.
The Voice of the Ocean singing competition experience aboard
Princess Cruises includes:
- Karaoke try out sessions at the beginning of each cruise, for
vocalists who are 16 years or older. There will be two
opportunities to audition during open karaoke in one of the ships
lounges or showrooms. Fellow guests and cruise staff will decide
who moves on to compete.
- Selected singers are assigned a mentor who will meet with them
during the cruise to rehearse with the Princess Band and back-up
singers to prepare for the best possible performance. The mentors
will be a Princess musical entertainer or vocalist.
- The Voice of the Ocean Live Show, hosted by the Cruise
Director on the last night of the cruise will feature up to nine
contestants performing in the Princess Theater for an audience that
includes three high-profile team coaches that may include one of
our guest entertainers, the Hotel General Manager or even the
Captain. Just like the hit TV show, the trio of coaches will listen
but not see the performer as they decide to turn their "I Want You"
chair to choose the singer to be on their team. Once teams
are chosen coaches will then each pick one finalist. From the three
finalists, the audience votes for the winner who will be awarded a
trophy and most importantly, the title The Voice of the
Ocean.
"Whether guests are up on stage or in the audience deciding who
gets their vote, we know The Voice of the Ocean will be a
huge hit with Princess guests," said Adrian
Fischer, vice president, entertainment for Princess Cruises.
"Guests will feel like they are part of the globally popular TV
show performing on a high tech set almost identical to the hit
show, including rotating red chairs and a live Princess band with
back-up singers. We're excited to discover and foster undiscovered
talent and offer guests a whole new way to express their love of
music and performing."
The vocal competition will debut aboard Regal Princess in
October, followed by Royal Princess and Caribbean Princess in
November. Eight additional ships will offer The Voice of the
Ocean rolling out between January and May of 2016.
This new partnership adds to the cruise line's "come back new"
brand promise, designed to elevate the guest experience by creating
enriching moments and lifelong memories. For more information about
