Happy New Year to everyone! Soon, we will see many guests on the four Cruise Programs scheduled for later this month and in February. We cannot wait to do so, but before heading to sea, we want to share some information about our programs.

Since 2001, the team at Signature Cruise Experiences has produced over 90 full ship charters featuring a variety of musical and experiential themes. In recent years, operating as Jazz Cruises, LLC, the team has focused on jazz programs and has become the undisputed leader in that genre.

Signature Cruise Experiences is expanding its jazz programs as well as presenting new themes and formats. The new programs are exciting, and each one is driven by our dedication to excellence and to our guests. Including the immediate four sailings, Journey of Jazz ’25 (Fall) and the ’26 Cruise Programs, Signature Cruise Experiences has 13 Cruise Programs for your enjoyment. 

Attached is a brochure (SCE Brand Book) that describes each Cruise Program, provides current reservation information and links to learn about our “Fleet” of entertainment. We hope that you enjoy the brochure and take some time to learn how we are providing…
