Big Band Cruises?

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.

Does anyone know of any future cruise that feature Big Band music? I love that idea!

 

The Harry James orchestra will be playing on the Oosterdam transatlantic from Fort Lauderdale to Rome, departing March 21, 2016.

I am on this cruise! Nice to know. Now all I need is a dance partner, since I am going solo. Thank you for this.

We are already booked on a late April transatlantic or we would definitely book this one. Have been on several with Harry James. And we love the dancing
