MIAMI, Aug. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the only
place on Earth to see Bonnie Tyler
and DNCE perform "Total Eclipse of the Heart" during the Great
American Eclipse – a total solar eclipse 99 years in the making –
was on board Royal Caribbean International's adventure-packed
Oasis of the Seas. Tyler, known as the international first
lady of rock, joined multi-platinum selling band DNCE in an
exclusive performance of the popular ballad for guests on the
cruise line's once-in-a-lifetime Total Eclipse Cruise.
"As if moving our ship to sail along the eclipse's path of
totality to give our guests 100 percent visibility of this
phenomenon wasn't enough, we wanted to take it to another level –
just above 'out of this world'," said Michael Bayley, President and CEO, Royal
Caribbean International. "Royal Caribbean is known as the most
innovative cruise line, always pushing to create bigger and bolder
adventures for vacationers. We're excited to have DNCE and Bonnie
on board, and even more thrilled to have seen the looks on our
guests' faces when she was brought on stage to sing 'Total Eclipse
of the Heart.' This is what we live for – to make unforgettable
memories. "
As the moon made its way to cover the sun for the celestial
event of the century, DNCE took center stage in Oasis of the
Seas' open-air AquaTheater, performing the band's chart-topping
hits, including "Kissing Strangers," "Body Moves" and, of course,
"Cake by the Ocean." The concert culminated in the ultimate
performance by DNCE and the Welsh-born singer. All eyes were on
Joe Jonas and Tyler, alongside DNCE
bandmates Cole Whittle, JinJoo and Jack Lawless, as they sang a powerful
remix of Tyler's classic, paying tribute to the solar eclipse.
While on board Oasis of the Seas, one of the world's
three largest cruise ships, the performers will explore the ship's
seven distinct neighborhoods and experience unmatched adventure
from flying across the ship on a zip line nine decks high to
catching waves on one of the ship's two FlowRider surf simulators,
and scaling to great heights on one of the ship's signature rock
walls. The 7-night Total Eclipse Cruise set sail on Aug. 20 from Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida and will visit Eastern Caribbean destinations including
Philipsburg, St. Maarten;
Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas; and Nassau, Bahamas.
