• The Smooth Jazz Cruise ’22: Back to Sea Sailing. Talk about anticipation, this cruise was fully subscribed in ’19 and scheduled to sail in March ’20. As our first “smooth jazz” cruise in nearly 2 years, the excitement and anticipation for this cruise will be amazing! The cruise features our largest lineup of Artists ever. Not only will you enjoy the Artists originally scheduled to sail, but several more Artists, including David Sanborn, who joined the lineup just before the cruise was to sail are back onboard as well. The result is more music than ever before and a better than usual selection of staterooms has become available due to the rescheduling for ’22!
   
• The Smooth Jazz Cruise ‘22.1 & ‘22.2. Star power abounds on these cruises in celebration of our 29th and 30th anniversary sailings. In addition to our customary superstar lineup of “smooth jazz” stars, these sailings feature Vanessa Williams and Jeffrey Osborne, each of whom will be sailing with us and primed for special shows. These cruises mark the long awaited return to Aruba and Curacao as well. Both sailings are 90% reserved at this time.

The three sailings are back-to-back-to-back, so, if you wish, you can make a lovely 2-week jazz cruise vacation. Regardless of which cruise you choose, you will enjoy the following:
 

• Enjoy the REVOLUTION. Our first cruises on a Celebrity Cruises ship that has completed the amazing “Revolution” upgrade program! Every stateroom has been completely refurbished. Every venue has been either redone or upgraded.
   
• Your Favorite Artists. All lineups include Marcus Miller, Boney James, Brian Culbertson, Candy Dulfer, Jonathan Butler, Alonzo Bodden, Eric Darius, DW3, Eric Marienthal, Euge Groove, Patches Stewart and 3 Amazing Bands.
   
• Action-Packed Programming. Your cruise is filled with fun events and parties.

Booking now ensures your space on the cruise, gives you the choice of s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g your payments over 15 months and making you eligible for other cruise benefits.

One positive outcome from not sailing in ’21 is that we have time to thoroughly review, dissect and reassemble all aspects of The Smooth Jazz Cruise. Every year, we do this to a certain extent, but with the extra time we have, we are digging deeper than ever before.

We have broken down the cruise experience into several categories. In each instance, we will identify what we are doing currently, what we like, what we do not like and how we intend to improve that aspect of the cruise program. We will share our thoughts with you on a monthly basis and invite your responses. After all, The Smooth Jazz Cruise belongs to you. Here is the schedule we are proposing:
