LYNYRD SKYNYRD TO TAKE TO THE SEAS 
WITH "SIMPLE MAN" CRUISE

(Nashville, TN) - Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Lynyrd Skynyrd will join 2,000 fans for a cruise that will last an entire weekend. The "Simple Man" cruise will take place January 10-14, 2008 on one of Carnival Cruise's luxury ships. The cruise will start in Miami and travel to Key West and Calica.

Lynyrd Skynyrd won't be the only rock band in attendance. Also joining the band will be the Marshall Tucker Band, Cowboy Mouth, Blackberry Smoke, Kneckdown, Grayson Hill, the Georgia Satellites and more.

For the second year, Skynyrd will rock out on the waters with some of the most hardcore rock and roll fans out there. "We did the first one earlier this year and had a ball!" says lead singer Johnny Van Zant. "They called us up and asked if we wanted to do it again and, of course, we said, 'Hell, yeah!'"

Ranked as one of the best-selling bands of all time by the Recording Industry Association of America and recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Lynyrd Skynyrd is still going strong with almost 65 albums, 30 million albums sold to date, and over 80 performances annually. To date, "Sweet Home Alabama" has passed the 1,000,000 mark in downloaded master ringtones, proving that Lynyrd Skynyrd is a major industry icon that appeals to all generations. 

Cabins are priced at an introductory rate of $599 per person, based on double-occupancy, plus port and tax fees.
