Cruises have been a tried-and-true vacation for decades now. I mean, you get to sail around paradise on a giant floating resort — what’s not to like? If you needed something to sweeten the pot, consider the fact that you could go on a cruise with Jon Bon Jovi himself.
Bon Jovi is a big deal.

His band has sold millions of records worldwide and cranked out hit after hit. When it comes to New Jersey rock supremacy, the only two names in the discussion are Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi.
Bon Jovi’s been a philanthropist for more groups and charities than you can count, including the Special Olympics, Habitat for Humanity, the American Red Cross and his own charity, the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation.
Now he’s trying something new.

Celebrity cruises have been a bit of a thing in recent years, where holidaymakers are given the opportunity to party with acts like Weezer and Kiss . Bon Jovi’s a savvy businessman with a huge following, so he’s thrown his hat in the ring.
You’d better book your tickets fast.

That’s because Bon Jovi’s venture, the Runaway to Paradise cruise, leaves soon. It departs Miami on April 12th, so there’s juuust enough time to book your ticket and airfare.
The cost is pretty reasonable.

Bon Jovi superfans can get on board the ship (Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Jade ) for as little as $713 per person. It goes up from there, of course — and it looks like spots are nearly sold out.
There’s wine, too.

Bon Jovi’s son, Jesse Bongiovi, will also be on board. Father and son are business partners in Hampton Water Wine, which makes an up and coming rosé that’s seen rave reviews.
What will the scene be like?

There’ll be a shop for Bon Jovi’s clothing line, Hart N Dagger (remember, he’s a businessman!). For those who aren’t as interested in the retail opportunities, though, there will be more substantial stuff.
It’s a once in a lifetime experience for fans.
There will be plenty of Bon Jovi tunes blasting throughout the ship, as well as karaoke. But the big draw is the chance to rub shoulders with Bon Jovi himself at Q&A sessions onboard.
The ship will be rocking.

Bon Jovi’s a big enough name to anchor the cruise, but it’ll also feature acts like Collective Soul, Tonic, Beth Thornton and Slippery When Wet, giving fans of different genres and eras a chance to rock out.
Whoa, we’re halfway there.

The four-night cruise will depart and return to Miami, stopping at one port of call — Nassau in the Bahamas — along the way. For Europeans, there’s a separate Mediterranean cruise that sets sail in August.
