Sixthman, a company that started with a simple idea of bringing fans closer to their favorite artists, has grown into a successful business that offers unique experiences for fans to connect with artists and celebrities.

A Quarter Century of Turning Fans into Shipmates

In 2001, the manager for the rock band Sister Hazel had an unusual idea – to put fans on a cruise ship with the band for a week. This experiment turned out to be a huge success, and 25 years later, Sixthman has run more than 240 voyages and welcomed over 540,000 guests.

The company’s cruises feature a wide range of artists and celebrities, including musicians, comedians, wrestlers, and celebrity chefs like Bobby Flay. Sixthman’s CEO, Jeff Cuellar, said that the company’s focus on hospitality and creating a sense of community has been key to its success.

Expanding Beyond Music

Sixthman has expanded its offerings beyond music to include comedy, wrestling, sports, and pop culture. The company’s culinary voyage, Chefs Making Waves, features celebrity chefs like Bobby Flay and offers guests the opportunity to experience a vacation built around thoughtful programming and meaningful access to culinary stars.

Cuellar said that the company’s future plans include continuing to grow and expand into new categories and genres. With its unique approach to creating unforgettable experiences for fans, Sixthman is poised to remain a leader in the experiential travel industry.
