You Can Live Like This

Whether you’re an upside-down flower, a punk rock princess, or a glass passenger, you’ll feel right at home cruising beneath the blue skies on Andrew McMahon’s Holiday From Real. On November 9, 2024, we set sail from Miami on Norwegian Gem for a musical voyage more than 20 years in the making.

Enjoy headlining sets from Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, Jack’s Mannequin, and Something Corporate along with an impressive offering of Alternative, Pop, and Indie acts that span generations. We’ll party on our very own private island in Great Stirrup Cay, and Nassau, Bahamas, and together we’ll celebrate the 15th Annual Dear Jack Foundation Benefit at sea.

Every sun-soaked day and star-filled night will be home to non-stop live music, immersive artist experiences, and so much more. So, gather your maps for the getaway, prepare to wake up in the Caribbean, instead of your car and when the time comes don’t be afraid to sing out loud…” Fuck yeah, we can live like this.”

It’s our own private island in the Bahamas where only Holiday From Real cruisers are allowed! With its white sand beaches stretching for miles and clear blue waters, it’s as awesome as it sounds. Grab a snorkel, hang a hammock, or enjoy a Beachside BBQ while you soak in the rays.

Bonus! Guests who purchase a beverage package will be able to use it for all-inclusive drinks on Great Stirrup Cay, too!
