Rihanna To Perform On Royal Caribbean Cruise

According to USA Today:

Who says cruise ships only get B-list performers?

Industry giant Royal Caribbean today announced that pop star Rihanna will perform next month aboard the much-ballyhooed Oasis of the Seas — the world’s largest cruise ship.

The concert, on Nov. 19, will take place during a three-night preview voyage scheduled for the groundbreaking, 5,400-passenger vessel before its official debut in early December.

The concert is the first to promote Rihanna’s new album, Rated R, the line says. The new album, due out on Nov. 23, is Rihanna’s first since 2007′s Good Girl Gone Bad, which went multiplatinum. Earlier this week, Rihanna unveiled a single from the album, Russian Roulette.

Rihanna will be the first performer ever to take the stage at Oasis of the Seas’ outdoor AquaTheater, an unusual amphitheater-style space that serves as a pool by day and ocean-front theater by night.

Named by USA TODAY readers last year in a contest held here at the Cruise Log, the 225,000-ton Oasis of the Seas is nearly 50% larger than the largest cruise vessels now afloat and will offer features never before seen on a ship. Among them: an open-air atrium with live trees called Central Park, a family-friendly amusement area called Boardwalk, an outdoor AquaTheater for water shows and a zip line.
