Crum will perform in the show for the ships inaugural season. The vessel will then head to Northern Europe and sail roundtrip from Copenhagen on a number of Russia and Scandinavia voyages between April and August.
“Rock Opera takes our guests on a musical journey, featuring our eight-piece live orchestra playing iconic rock songs,” said Denise Saviss, Vice President of Entertainment, Princess Cruises. “Our production and costume design team were inspired by one of New York City’s most glamorous evenings of the year, the Met Gala.”
