All hands were raised and hearts were wide open as American Idol Season 23 finalist Breanna Nix stepped onto the stage of the 2025 Summer Worship Nights Cruise. Her moving cover of a CeCe Winans worship classic had the crowd in awe, creating a moment that reached far beyond the ship.
With a voice full of heart and gratitude, Nix delivered the song with quiet power and emotional depth, leaving many visibly moved—even those watching from afar. It was more than a performance. It was a moment of shared faith and raw connection.

Accompanied by nothing more than a gentle instrumental backdrop and the sounds of the sea, Nix’s voice soared. Her ability to blend strength and sincerity showed exactly why so many fans have followed her journey from American Idol to the worship stage.
The worship cruise itself set the perfect tone. Aboard the Carnival Freedom, the five-night journey took passengers to beautiful locations like Nassau, Princess Cays, and Grand Turk. But the highlight for many came when voices joined together under the stars in praise, with artists like Phil Wickham, Brandon Lake, and special guests like Nix helping create unforgettable moments of worship and renewal.

From Idol to Opry: A Look at Breanna Nix’s Rising Journey
Before setting sail, Breanna Nix had already begun carving a path in Christian music. She made her live audition judging debut at CMA Fest 2024, encouraging hopefuls at American Idol’s first in-person auditions at the iconic event. She also took the stage at the 19/BMG Takeover, performing her single “Higher,” and followed it up with her Grand Ole Opry debut just days later.
Her Opry performance of “Higher” and the worship anthem “The Goodness of God” earned not one but two standing ovations. In a heartfelt Instagram post afterward, she wrote, “This moment is going down in the book of favorite memories—forever.”
Fans have been vocal in their support. One wrote, “I don’t even listen to Christian music, but I do now. You are such an uplifting human being.” Another added, “You’re living proof that dreams do come true!”
And now, as she joins others on the Summer Worship Nights Cruise, that message is being heard louder than ever.
