Football season is officially over and beautiful ravens from Baltimore will be flying south for the spring as they visit the island of Grand Bahama.

No, I'm not referring to the men of the football team, but to the official Baltimore Ravens Cheerleaders.

The Baltimore Ravens Cheer- leaders' Swimsuit Calendar photo shoot and 98 Rock's, yearly Spring Fling Trip are coming to Grand Bahama to the Grand Lucayan Beach and Golf Resort.

The occasion set to be hosted in this tropical paradise of powdery white-sand beaches, will feature 40 Ravens cheerleaders and a 98 rock-style party all week long!

The Baltimore Ravens Cheer-leaders and 98 Rock, a local radio station in Baltimore have decided to team up once again and fans can join the station's talent and staff, along with the Ravens squad of cheerleaders, at the Grand Lucayan Resort, April 8-15.

Through a press release the organizers noted, "in addition to sun, fun, beaches and entertainment from 98 Rock live broadcasts, fans will also be able to watch as the Ravens' cheerleaders pose for photos that will be used in their 2012-2013 Swimsuit Calendar."

"We're offering fans the ultimate getaway experience in The Bahamas," Ravens vice president of marketing Gabrielle Dow said. "We are pulling back the curtain and allowing people to see the behind-the-scenes fun of the calendar shoot as 98Rock keeps the party going."

For the weekend of the shoot, the Grand Lucayan is offering three levels of special resort packages and the organizers are partnering with Vision Airlines, which offers nonstop flights from BWI to Grand Bahama.
