It's the height of summer, but the memory of this past winter's chill isn't all that distant. How many times did you have to scrape or shovel last January? How would you like a break from winter's icy grip?

Now you can plan the perfect escape from the upcoming winter by entering the Country Music Cruise sweepstakes going on through Monday (July 7). The cruise is the ultimate vacation departing Jan. 18, 2015, for the sunny Caribbean destinations of Nassau, St. Thomas, St. Croix and the beautiful private island of Half Moon Cay.

If that isn't enough to keep the winter blues at bay, the lineup includes performance by country music favorites like Martina McBride, the Oak Ridge Boys, Charley Pride, Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers, Lorrie Morgan, John Anderson, Aaron Tippin, Darryl Worley and many more.

The party includes fine dining, beautiful accommodations and superb service from one of the world's premier cruise lines on Holland America's m/s Eurodam. And after seven sun-drenched days, you'll return to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Jan. 25.

Entering the sweepstakes isn't the only way to enjoy this fabulous vacation, of course. You can book your own tropical getaway by visiting www.countrymusiccruise.com.
