For a fabulous vacation inspired by the Fab 4, Royal Caribbean's mega-ship Oasis of the Seas will host the Beatles Tribute Cruise 2012. Sailing from Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades, the 7-night tribute to John, Paul, George and Ringo will hit the seas on February 4, 2012.

The trip will include ports of call in Jamaica, Mexico and Haiti with a boatload of Beatles-immersion. Headlining the show will be Revolution, a Beatles tribute band who will be performing twice during the cruise.

Also on board will be Tim Piper performing his critically acclaimed John Lennon show Just Imagine for the private group of cruisers. Laurence Juber, two time Grammy award winner and former lead guitarist for WINGS, returns to do two shows. Mark Hudson, Ringo's former producer, will offer two of his unique one-man rock band performances. Popular radio host Joe Johnson, host and creator of Beatle Brunch returns as the onboard MC of the show.

The sailing date for the Beatles Tribute Cruise 2012 marks the 48th anniversary of the Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Royal Caribbean has been known for a variety of top shelf entertainment ranging from superstar Godmother Reba McEntire to Broadway shows on board and pop star Rhianna in concert.

Rhianna and the Beatles aren't the only rock stars to take to the waves, the Carnival Destiny will be heading out to sea with a KISS Cruise this October.

Oh wow !! I wanna go .... wonder how much it costs (it'd be nice if they retro'ed it to the prices of a cruise in the 60's .... haha)

Just the thing the Beatles have tried to prevent their whole career, stopping second class PR ripoffs making money on their back. Paul was devastated when Michael Jackson bought (outbid him) when the Beatles song rights came up for sale years ago. Paul knew it wouldn't be long before his songs (against his will) would be used on commercials and be arranged and sung by second rate musicians that can't make it on their own. I imagine however since so many former comrades of Paul's and Ringo's are involved they will just let it go. The band (Revolution) does however do a very well put together Beatles tribute with a lot of respect, so that will be decent.

Jamaica, Mexico and Haiti? Are they serious??? These are about the 3 worst places to visit. Jamaica - drugs and crime, Mexico - drug war, Haiti - last I heard they haven't yet recovered from the earthquake.

The question is, will any of the Beetles make an appearance for their loyal fans?

B-I-N-G-O!!!!
Just your typical RCCL Ad. No big deal here unless one of the Beatles actually performed which is not going to happen. Why capitalize on two dead men, and two who wouldn't be caught dead on that ship?..there are so many original acts to see, why would you see a copy?--Bad idea RCCL....
