Styx and Journey have confirmed that they will be playing the second annual Carnival Cruise concert series.

Journey will be performing on March 18 and 19, 2015 in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Styx will play on July 16-18 and July 20 in Nassau, in the Bahamas.

Other artists slated to play onboard shows while the Carnival cruise liners stop at several ports include Smokey Robinson, Rascal Flatts and Little Big Town, with further acts to be announced soon.

Tommy Shaw noted, "Our 2014 Carnival Live shows have been tour standouts, so we are thrilled to get on board again to rock the boat next year."

The cruise ships will depart from Miami, Port Canaveral, Tampa and Jacksonville (Florida); Charleston (South Carolina); and Galveston (Texas).
