Nashville, Tenn. (October 9, 2013) - No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury has done the cruise thing. This time around she's staging a vacation like none other - a trip she hopes will be unforgettable for everyone who signs up. The event is the Exclusive KK Beach Party (Premier Vacation and Events) at the Tradewinds Resort Island Grand in St. Petersburg, FL, October 25-28, 2014.

"My readers are looking for something new, something inspiring and relaxing and still the best time ever and definitely on the most beautiful beach, "says Kingsbury. "We will laugh, learn, and hang out together with people like Korie and Sadie Robertson, people who are changing our culture for God."

The event will also include concerts by top Christian artists, and special sessions with Karen that will help readers grow in love and faith. TradeWinds is on twenty acres of sugary sandy white beachfront, and Kingsbury's guests will all have access to private oceanfront cabanas.

"Readers could literally spend the day with a book on the beach, or take the trolley up and down the coast to explore the St. Petersburg coastal area," Kingsbury said. "This time together will change the lives of people who go. They will leave ready to love better, laugh more often, and live out a deeper faith."

The exclusive KK Beach Party has it all - and it's on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Also available are activities such as tennis, miniature golf, paddle boating, snorkeling, and parasailing along with other possible excursions. The exclusive four-day vacation will include a beach BBQ, a worship service on the beach, and sessions morning and night.

"We expect this event to sell out," Kingsbury said. "So I'm encouraging my readers to sign up now." Packages for the Beach Party start at $75 a month and go on sale today via www.karenkingsburybeachparty.com.

About Premier:
www.premier-experience.com
What began as a small crest has turned into a spiritual tidal wave for Premier. Since 1996, Premier Productions has been promoting the best, brightest and newest artists in the industry. It only made sense that in 2003, they would begin promoting the best idea in family vacations - a Christian music cruise.

Bringing onboard top artists in the industry that Premier already had promoted on stages across the nation, Premier co-owners Roy Morgan and Gary Gentry already knew the bands, the music and the ministry. Longtime friend John Sanders, a band member with Brother's Keeper, had a brainstorm that would launch Premier into a new venture, Premier Christian Cruises (now Premier Vacations and Events).

"We saw a huge niche for family vacations that were clean and wholesome and something more than a week away from home," said Morgan. "People wanted a way to recharge their spiritual batteries and spend much-needed time with their families."

Starting with the annual K-LOVE Friends & Family Music Cruise, PCC added The Duck Commander Cruise with the cast of A&E's Duck Dynasty, The Music Boat and The Girls Get-A-Way Cruise to their exciting lineup of Christian cruises. Bringing some of the best known and loved contemporary Christian artists onboard, along with great national and international speakers, a smattering of renowned comedians and a backdrop of exotic locations from Cancun, Mexico to The Bahamas, PCC has found the right recipe for spiritual journeys of a lifetime. It's more than a cruise. It's a life-changing, boat-rocking experience that brings people closer to their Creator. Spiritual batteries are recharged. New directions are taken and lives are never the same after a Premier Christian Cruise.

"We continually look for artists who believe in us and we believe in them," said co-owner Roy Morgan. "In addition, we are looking to expand Premier Christian Cruises by creating even more unique vacation experiences on the water."
