Eurodam : 10 January 2016 - 17 January 2016 : Caribbean : Smooth Jazz Cruise charter (first sailing) dedicated to the memory of Joe Sample

This is one week earlier than the date for 2015, which is probably to enable those who wish to do a week of smooth jazz back-to-back with a week of straight ahead jazz.

Part of me therefore expects the Country Music Cruise to take the 24-31 January 2016 week, but that is pure speculation on my part, with no information on which to base it other than that for some years now ECP has taken a ship for three consecutive weeks in January.

thank you everyone for your input/information - as I have been travelling the last few months, I have not gotten to update and research much. Hopefully more summer 2015 and winter 2016 should start becoming available.

This thread is now closed as the most recent - November 2014 - update can be found at:
