mybagsarepacked Posted July 24, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Besides Crystal Cruises, are there any cruise lines offering Big Band theme cruises? We have done Big Band cruises on Celebrity, and Holland America several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-step Posted July 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Don't overlook Cunard's Queen Mary 2. While not a "big band" cruise, there is ballroom/swing dancing every night in the largest ballroom at sea. On transatlantic crossing there are also two afternoon tea dances. The music tends to be mostly foxtrot, swing and cha-chas, but they do throw in a few rhumbas, waltzes and quicksteps each night. There is also strict tempo recorded music playing during the band breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseguyinorl Posted July 15, 2016 #12 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Though not exclusive to Big Band, JazzFest at Sea does a good job of jazz music from the '20's to '40's. Bret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireStation46 Posted January 30, 2017 #14 Share Posted January 30, 2017 It would be great to have this info more than a year out as I need to book vacation well in advance due to my job. Big Bands would be awesome, just don't ask me to do any dancing:eek::D it would distract from the fine music:D:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
