The Bellamy Brothers are returning for another year on the Country Music Cruise in 2025. The duo, made up of Howard and David Bellamy, will perform for the fourth time next year, as part of an all-star lineup.
“It’ll be time for our tan,” David jokes to Everything Nash. “We need a tan every two to three years.”
All kidding aside, the Bellamy Brothers are eager to return to the 2025 Country Music Cruise, both to see the other performers, and to interact with their fans.
“You see a lot of the entertainers that you don’t see very much,” Howard explains. “Occasionally you’ll cross paths on the road. But you’re on there for a few days, and you get to visit more with them than you normally would. It’s time together with friends and fans.”
“On the cruise, no matter what you are, if you’re out and about and social, or anti-social, you’re gonna be kind of social on there, because you can’t help it,” David adds. “It’s the nature of it. Everybody has such a good time; nobody really bothers you. The people that do stop you and talk to you, it’s just really good-hearted country fans.”
The 2024 Country Music Cruise just celebrated its tenth anniversary, with even bigger plans on tap for next year.
“Our 10th anniversary sailing last month was a very special one indeed,” Mike Jason, President of StarVista LIVE, says. “Whether a guest on many of our sailings or a first-timer, everyone was warmly welcomed into the Country Music Cruise family. The artists entertained us in a world-class fashion, provided plenty of great music and laughs, and created many, many special moments.”
In addition to getting ready for the 2025 Country Music Cruise, the Bellamy Brothers are also wrapping up filming the fourth season of their TV show, Honky Tonk Ranch, and are working on a new album, which includes a collaboration with Gene Watson on “Forever Ain’t Long Enough.”
“That’ll probably be out April or May,” David says of their next record. “That’s going to be like a dozen songs on there. That’s going to be a lot of fun. We’ve got that in the can. We’ve got a couple more good surprises on there, I think.”
Other artists on the 2025 Country Music Cruise include Neal McCoy, Home Free, John Berry, T. Graham Brown, T.G. Sheppard, Moe Bandy, John Michael Montgomery, Deana Carter, The Bellamy Brothers, Diamond Rio, The Isaacs, Jamie O’Neal, The Malpass Brothers and more.
