Amazing Music

Since 2001, Signature Cruise Experiences has produced over 100 full ship theme charters, most of which featured a significant music theme and top performers.

Our goal has been to present the very best musicians possible and do so with authenticity and professionalism. Our music venues are the best at sea and our sound production is Performing Art Center quality.  Nothing but the best for our talent which translates to the very best for our guests.

Ships

In selecting our ships, we have several important considerations, the quality of accommodations, dining experience, staff reputation, available amenities, and décor.

These qualities are sought by all cruise patrons, but we must consider one more element, the size, number, and quality of the ship’s public space and venues to present our music. Currently, the ships of Celebrity Cruises afford us the best combination of luxury and topflight venues.

Musical Experience

Every musician on our programs performs throughout the country and the world.  To see and hear them is subject only to schedules and availability.  But no on land concert can compare to the intimacy and excitement of our shows at sea.  Having a large group of musicians at sea together inevitably produces special shows that could never take place on land. Whether it is a Keyboard Capers show where 15 or more jazz pianists take turns on stage or a cameo performance by one star musician in the show of another, your musical experience will be amazing.  The ability to meet the musicians is another opportunity unique to sailing.
