Boots on the Water Cruise 2026 Lineup: Clint Black, Terri Clark

Boots on the Water, a country music cruise focusing on the twangy sounds of the Nineties and 2000s, has announced its 2026 lineup and ports of call.

Clint Black, Terri Clark, Diamond Rio, Chris Cagle, David Lee Murphy, and Deana Carter will all appear on next year’s voyage, which sails from Tampa, Florida, to Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico, from Feb. 13 through 18. Nashville favorite Sarah Gayle Meech, whom Rolling Stone called “the queen of the honky-tonk,” is also on the manifest.

Presented by music cruise giant Sixthman, Boots on the Water 2026 follows up last month’s inaugural edition, which featured Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson, Craig Morgan, and others.

Black, known for neo-traditional country hits like “Killin’ Time,” “A Better Man,” and “Nothin’ but the Taillights,” is slated to headline the 2026 Boots on the Water, with main-stage sets on the Norwegian Jewel from Terri Clark (“Girls Lie Too,” “Better Things to Do”) and Diamond Rio (“Meet in the Middle,” “One More Day”). Fans will also hear hits like Murphy’s timeless “Dust on the Bottle” and Carter’s nostalgic anthem “Strawberry Wine.”

Presale signups begin now through March 9, with final round presale concluding March 12. The public on-sale starts March 14 at the cruise’s website.

Boots on the Water is one of many country and Americana music cruises produced by Sixthman. Earlier this year, the ninth installment of the Outlaw Country Cruise sailed with headliners Old Crow Medicine Show. It was a bittersweet voyage as it marked the first cruise since the deaths of Mojo Nixon and Jeremy Tepper, both essential to the Outlaw Country Cruise culture. The 10th installment of OCC is set for March 20 through 25, 2026, with stops in Belize and Honduras. The lineup is yet to be announced.
