Christian Cruises: Holidays, Pilgrimages, Worship and More

cruise with christian artists

If you've ever thought it would be fun, enriching or uplifting to spend your vacation surrounded by fellow believers, sitting in on a theological seminar, enjoying a worship concert or two or perhaps connecting with other Christians looking for love, you may find just what you're looking for on the high seas. In fact, each year there are a wide variety of theme cruises geared toward the Christian community -- hosted on both mainstream and luxury cruise ships and sailing in all parts of the world.

Keep reading for more info on which Christian cruises are available, where to book and what to expect onboard.

Christian Themed Cruises

There are a number of travel agencies dedicated to organizing Christian themed cruises, ensuring that you'll find plenty of options. Whether you're interested in attending daily worship services with well-known evangelical pastors, hoping to organize a very special retreat or simply intrigued by the idea of attending a Christian conference at sea, there's a cruise out there for you. Inspiration Cruises & Tours offers a bit of everything, while AllChristianCruises.com is a great place to start if you're looking for a singles cruise, a couples cruise or planning a retreat. ChristianCruises.net hosts several theme cruises throughout each year as well. These are typically worship-music-based and feature well-known church leaders.

Christian Music Cruises

Worship music is a huge industry and is well-represented in the world of theme cruising. In fact, most Christian themed cruises feature corporate worship, many with well-known worship artists as special guests. For instance, the Focus on the Family ministry will celebrate its 40th anniversary on a theme cruise aboard Disney Dream with special guests Mercy Me.

But, there are also theme cruises dedicated entirely to worship bands and worship music, such as the K-Love Cruise. The Christian music station hosts an annual cruise featuring performances from some of worship music's most popular artists. For example, a five-night Bahamas cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas features Steven Curtis Chapman, Danny Gokey, the Passion Band, Casting Crowns, Matthew West and many more, along with popular DJs and an onboard singles ministry.

DC Talk -- the band responsible for the popular song "Jesus Freak" -- will be reuniting for the first time in 16 years, with a four-night sailing aboard MSC Divina. Other artists including TobyMac and Newsboys will also be onboard.

Christian Holiday Cruises

If you are traveling during Christmas, you will likely find onboard programming. Most mainstream cruise lines serve special holiday meals in the main dining rooms and some lines --such as Crystal, Holland America, MSC Cruises and Celebrity -- offer religious services during the holidays. Most if not all cruise ships are decked out in traditional Christmas decor for the duration of the Christmas season. Though much of what can be found onboard a standard holiday cruise can be considered secular, there are no shortage of ways to celebrate. You can find a line-by-line rundown in Cruise Critic's story on onboard holiday festivities .

Christian Singles Cruises

If you're hoping to find love or just companionship on your next cruise, you might consider looking into a Christian singles cruise. These cruises are similar to secular singles cruises with the addition of programming tailored to followers of Christ, which may include inspirational speakers, workshops, panel discussions and more. Though you will of course meet other singles, there is typically a focus on personal enrichment, fostering community and each individual's relationship with God. Destination 360 and AllChristianCruises.com often offer singles cruises.

Christian Pilgrimage Cruises

Many Christian pilgrimage sites can be reached by cruise, making it an ideal option for travelers who would like to visit several different sites on one trip. While excursions to places like the Vatican and sites throughout the Holy Land can be arranged independently without much fuss, there are also quite a few agencies dedicated to organizing pilgrimage theme cruises for Christians complete with group shore excursions. It's even possible to find sailings with offerings to smaller, more obscure pilgrimage sites, such as St. John's monastery in Patmos, Greece. There are also river cruises that take passengers throughout the European villages where the likes of Martin Luther and John Calvin launched the Protestant Reformation.

These theme cruises are differentiated from standard sailings by the addition of enrichment programming and shore excursions dedicated to the teaching and exploration of Christian themes, which may include the history of Christianity, the works of significant Christian figures, important biblical sites, etc. Pilgrim Tours and Sovereign Cruises both organize pilgrimage cruises and cruise tours to various destinations throughout each year.

Religious Services on Mainstream Cruises

If you happen to be aboard a cruise ship on a Sunday and are interested in attending church services, you may or may not find what you're looking for. Most mainstream cruise lines, such as Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Disney, do not hold regular religious services, but rather welcome clergy in good standing with their home churches to volunteer to lead services on Sundays. Volunteer clergy typically register with guest services who will assist in reserving space and directing passengers who inquire about such services in that direction. If there is no volunteer clergy aboard your cruise, you will likely not find any sort of service onboard with the exception of Christmas, and Easter on some cruise lines.

However, a number of luxury cruise lines including Silversea Cruises and Crystal Cruises do offer interdenominational Sunday services on most sailings.

If you are in port on a Sunday -- particularly in the Caribbean and Europe -- you might consider attending services at a local church. You can do this independently while touring on foot, but you can also book a cruise-line sponsored excursion to any number of historic churches and cathedrals, which may occur during scheduled services.

Faith-based cruises: Rocking the boat

cruise with christian artists

The sound you hear as your next cruise leaves its homeport may be songs of worship.

With its festive atmosphere, beautiful destinations and all-inclusive pricing packages, cruising has become a favorite vacation option for Americans over the past 20 years. Since the start of the new millennium, cruising has surged in popularity among church groups and ministry organizations, and today’s Christian traveler can choose from dozens of faith-based cruises that sail every year.

The options vary widely, from contemporary Christian music festivals at sea to on-board conferences hosted by nationally known teachers and ministers. Some faith-based cruises are full-ship charters, and others take place on regular cruise line itineraries. Church groups can grab a spot on cruises being hosted by national organizations or use a cruise as an alternative destination for annual retreats or conferences.

Whether it’s for ministry purposes or just as an opportunity to get away and enjoy some of the most beautiful places on earth, a faith-based cruise might be just the ticket for your church group.

The Music Boat and more It takes a lot of name recognition to fill the 1,000 or more cabins on a chartered cruise ship, but with concerts by more than a dozen of the top names in contemporary Christian music, Premier Christian Cruises has been selling out cruises since its first foray in 2003.

“Our parent company, Premier Productions, started 15 years ago in the concert world,” said Darrell Burrow, vice president of sales and customer service for Premier Christian Cruises. “We used to do all the Bill Gaither concerts, and then we moved into contemporary Christian music. We used that part of our business as a springboard to do the cruises. Our first cruise was the 2003 K-LOVE Friends and Family Cruise on the smallest Carnival ship sailing out of New Orleans.”

Sponsored by the national Christian music radio network K-LOVE, the cruise was an instant hit, bringing some of the station’s most popular artists on board to perform concerts at sea. Since then, the February K-LOVE cruise has become a popular annual event, selling out months in advance of departure, and Premier has launched a second Christian music cruise, called the Music Boat, which sails in November.

“We have more than 15 contemporary Christian bands, soloists, comedians and speakers,” Burrow said. “This year, it’s being hosted by Third Day.”

The cruises, which typically sail from southern U.S. ports on five-day itineraries to the Bahamas or Mexico’s Caribbean coast, combine traditional aspects of cruise vacations with a full lineup of Christian concerts. Days begin with a chapel and worship service in the morning before passengers disembark to visit ports of call. On sea days, the afternoons will include a concert or two at various locations around the ship, plus meet-and-greet sessions with the artists.

In the evenings, headliners such as Casting Crowns, TobyMac or Newsboys play a pair of shows during the ship’s two dinner services, ensuring that everyone on board gets a chance to attend. The fun continues after dinner, too.

“In the evening, we keep it rolling into the wee hours. We have a concert at 10 p.m. and another one at 11,” Burrows said. “There are three venues at 10 where different shows are going on. You have to pick between a band like Newsboys, a Christian comedian or an illusionist.”

Premier has also expanded into a number of other themed cruises each year. In 2010 and 2011, they are hosting Family Life’s Love Like You Mean It Marriage Cruise, the Live2Love Couples Cruise and a Girls Get-A-Way Cruise designed exclusively for women. All cruises now take place on board chartered Royal Caribbean International ships. Retreats at sea Christian groups without the numbers to charter a full ship can still enjoy a faith-based vacation on board a cruise. Companies such as All Christian Cruises work with churches and ministries to help plan and coordinate events at sea.

“We help them bring their conferences and retreats on board cruises,” said the company’s Lisa Mann. “They can help people combine a vacation with a spiritual emphasis. The ministry takes place while the ship is at sea, and then when they’re in port, they can go vacation as they please.”

All Christian Cruises typically works with groups of 40 to 200 people, booking them on Royal Caribbean or Holland America cruises to Alaska or the Bahamas or other tropical destinations. They arrange for the groups to use a conference room or lounge on the ship for their meetings during days at sea when the spaces are not being used for regular cruise activities.

Passengers are free to avail themselves of the cruise line’s regular programming, but many groups come with activities and an agenda of their own, including guest speakers and worship bands.

“What makes it Christian is the programming that we bring on board,” Mann said. “We give them a lot of opportunities to participate in programming that’s faith based, instead of going to the casinos and lounges. And it’s a good opportunity to really be a witness as a group so people can see that Christians do have fun.”

The company offers some opportunities for groups in port as well, such as doing missions work with a small church in Nassau.

Nationwide reach Another company, Inspiration Cruises and Tours, works with nationwide ministries to plan larger events on cruise ships, inviting travelers from around the country to join them on any of the numerous cruises they host in conjunction with well-known teachers or Christian organizations.

“Our focus is for there to be ministry on the cruise, as well as a vacation aspect,” said Stephanie Dueck, Inspiration’s marketing and development director. “It’s kind of vacation with a purpose. We’re combining the vacation experience with like-minded people and purpose. You’re able to see God and his creation while you’re traveling.”

Dueck said that Alaska is the most popular cruise destination for their groups, because of its natural beauty and the spiritual awe of the Creator that it inspires. Groups also take advantage of the cruise line’s on-board activities, such as culinary experiences, basketball and Ping-Pong tournaments, dance classes and spa treatments.

The larger ministries that work with Inspiration often bring artists, singers, comedians and other entertainers to supplement their programs, as well as pastors and Bible teachers. The lineup varies according to the themes of the cruises, which include singles vacations, couples getaways and other gatherings.

But the planners also emphasize that participants should take some personal time during the cruise to grow spiritually.

“You can get away, get with God and find some direction for your life,” Dueck said. “We want people to be renewed in spirit. A cruise really allows you to do that, because you are away from everything and not completely connected to technology.”

CruiseMapper logo

At CruiseMapper's Christian Cruises dedicated page you can compare Christian-themed cruise travel vacations by line and destination. See what are the best Christian cruise lines and what their ships have to offer you as themes and itineraries schedule (departure dates and ports). This article is integrated with Cruises to Holy Land and our  Theme Cruises  hub.

Although not cheap, Christian cruise vacations for families have all the chances to become one of your family's best spiritual getaways! No matter if it's a ministry-organized group voyage, or just a family vacation focused on Christian values, "Christian Cruises" as themed voyages are a wonderful vacation option. On these, you can do both - indulge in the pampering elements of the cruise ship vacation, and satisfy your spiritual needs.

Christian Cruise Travel

If you are on a vacation budget, a ship cruise is among the best all-inclusive packages- everything is included and pre-planned. This simplifies packing and travel, enhancing your relaxation.

Christian Cruises - CruiseMapper

What is a Christian Cruise?

"Christian Cruises" incorporate inspirational speakers, teaching seminars, spiritual entertainment. These are the spots to find like-minded people, worship and pray as you sail. There are different types of Christian cruise deals. Some include Senior, Family, Couples and Singles Cruises.

The typical length of Christian Cruises varies from three up to eight days; their average cost ranges from $400 and up.

  • Pros - unforgettable spiritual voyages of a lifetime; all trip essentials included in one price; family-friendly environment and entertainment.
  • Cons - High cost of the vacation packages; not freestyle cruises- dress code may be uncomfortable for some guests; no variety in entertainment (particularly musical entertainment).

Many Christian Cruises are organized by a specific ministry or church organizations. They often opt for specialized themes, the most popular of which include:

  • Music cruises with popular Christian artists' songs;
  • Christian college cruises;
  • Ministerial voyages for church leadership figures;
  • Christian destination vacations that visit religious sites or trace Bible routes (Israel being among the world's most visited);
  • Specialized denomination voyages, planned to appeal to Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists, other Christianity sects;
  • Couples and Singles cruises which give members an opportunity to connect with people who share their faith;
  • Family voyages (mother and daughter) that unite families with Christian ideals and values.

Christian cruise ship activities

In addition to the inclusions of a typical cruise price (fine dining, games, entertainment), "Christian Cruises" provide a variety of activities. This way Christian passengers enjoy fellowship with other guests. Remember that group cruises do not usually require passengers' participation in any set number activities. There are options for everyone to try something fun that will help meet other individuals sharing the same religious beliefs. Each themed Christian cruise is quite different, but the typical onboard activities include:

  • Welcome receptions and Bible study
  • Worship services and Seminars on different religious topics
  • Christian themed games; Christian entertainment (Christian musicians, speakers, comedians)
  • Specialized shore excursions to famous religious sites, churches, temples.
  • Social activities (dances, slumber parties, group photographs, elegant receptions on formal nights).

How to choose between Christian cruise lines?

A large number of travel agencies plan regular Christian Cruises. A single agency only offers a few voyages each year. But if you investigate different travel agents, you will be able to find the voyage that appeals to you exactly. The most popular agencies, offering Christian cruise vacations are:

  • All Christian Cruises
  • Bountiful Travel
  • Christian Travel Finder
  • Inspiration Cruises
  • Matter of the Heart
  • Premier Experience
  • Temptation Tours

Christian cruise line ships have limited offers on Christian themed cruises per year. But they all sail to some of the world's most beautiful places! Usually, themed cruise deals are traded via themed travel agencies. Some travel agencies schedule a popular itinerary. Others vary destinations so that travelers have more options. Consider the following factors when you choose between all the "Christian cruise lines":

  • Cruise line/operator. The ones that frequently host themed Christian voyages are Carnival Cruise Line , Princess Cruises , Royal Caribbean International , Holland America, though other lines participate as well.
  • Destinations/itinerary. Christian themed cruises often include vacations to the Caribbean, Alaska, and Bahamas. Another very popular destinations are Mexico and Hawaii. Very special Mediterranean itineraries are the so-called "Holy Land Cruises"- to visit Israel, Egypt, Greece, and Turkey in one package deals.
  • Denomination. There are voyages focused on appealing to a specific sect. Others are appealing to all Christians.
  • Activity options. Carefully investigate the activities when you choose a Christian cruise- find those appealing to you. Some Christian music artists are popular for ones, but other passengers may prefer a quieter voyage.

Themed Christian cruise tours

If you are unable to find the ideal Christian cruise for your own vacation plans, work through the local church. There are lots of pre-planned Christian voyages available, but not every Christian likes to be involved in a structured getaway. Don't bother- it is easy to plan a Christian cruise on your own. The benefits of cruise vacations include the appeal of having meals, accommodations, travel, and destinations- all included in a single fare. There are also many activities provided, which appeal to all ages. Read the following tips which will add some spirituality to your Christian themed traveling experience:

  • Designate time for worship and prayer. Modern cruise ships offer small chapels; there are also many quiet places onboard suitable for a small group.
  • Avoid cruise ship's vices. Your personal behavior can be Christ-like everywhere, no matter where the voyage may be.
  • Choose educational tours. Instead of indulging on board, discover God's wonders in different destinations.

Christian cruise lines deals present the unique option for physically, mentally, and spiritually refreshing themed travel vacations. Choose preplanned theme cruises specific to your faith or just focus on spirituality while on vacation. Christian cruises offer something for everyone!

Q&A w/IMC President, Landon Beene (CARAVAN TOUR)

cruise with christian artists

IMC CONCERTS announces the The Gospel Music Caravan coming to the West Coast! This new tour will be making stops in Washington, Oregon and California in the summer of 2023! The Gospel Music Caravan Tour is a TWO-DAY event in each location that will include three dynamic sessions with some of the biggest names in Gospel Music! This tour is designed for local and regional gospel music fans to enjoy near their homes or take a road trip and join us while we travel down the west coast going to multiple cities.

We sat down with Landon to discuss the details of this dynamic new tour.

“I grew up in California and have great memories of when two or three gospel groups would come out to our area on tour together in the 80’s and 90’s. Those multi-artists tours are the inspiration for the Caravan Tour.” - Landon Beene

How did you come up with the concept for this tour?

The (West Coast) Gospel Music Caravan is a twofold concept: bringing a big event to people who love gospel music and bringing those people along on the tour!

IMC has always had a passion for bringing gospel music to the West Coast. I grew up in California and have great memories of when two or three gospel groups would come out to our area on tour together in the 80s and 90s. Those multi-artist tours are the inspiration for the Caravan Tour.

Why these four cities? 

If you look at the map, these four markets are evenly spread out, from top to bottom, on the U.S. West Coast. We realize that in order to keep this music alive on that side of the country, we need to take the music to THEM! The pandemic has really caused a lapse in gospel music going into the region, as well as the western provinces of Canada. Single night tours are still happening, but the larger events have diminished over the last few years. Our goal is to change that.

Why have you decided on multi-day events in each market?

IMC hosts several multi-day events each year. We have seen the benefit of hosting  several sessions in order to maximize the time at the events. It gives those people who are driving long distances the opportunity to take in more music and have a more meaningful overall experience.

Why are there days scheduled in between the concert dates?

While on tour, artists typically travel to a different market each night. They travel on a motor coach and are able to sleep while heading to the next concert date.  We are hoping that many of the attendees will want to travel along with the caravan to each market. This is why we have intentionally included a few days  off between stops; to create a travel schedule that accommodates the attendees. It also provides the opportunity for artists and attendees alike to enjoy free time, enabling them to sightsee along the way.

Is each event the same?

There will be some similarities, yes, but while four of the artists will act as hosts at all of the events, each market will showcase two additional artists so that each event will be fresh and slightly different. By doing this, we have been able to include the top artists in gospel music during the 12-day caravan.

What if attendees can only come to one or two of the events?

Great question! Each event will be priced and ticketed separately as a stand-alone event. This way our attendees can pick and choose which events they want to attend. Our hope is that many people will choose to make more than one stop with us. We also hope to have people from the South, Midwest and East Coast who will fly into the first event, rent a car or van and join us for the entirety of our first-ever Caravan Tour!

Only Alaska's Seward Highway can offer this particular mix created by climate, geography, and geology.

Another large group of musicians are frequent, though not perennial participants, and, whenever possible The Jazz Cruise features a musician who is either new on the scene or simply new to the cruise. This combination of musicians creates excitement and enthusiasm, while maintaining a solid base upon which the aura of the cruise is built.

Duane Eubanks

cruise with christian artists

Trumpeter Duane Eubanks is a multi-talented force whose fiery blasts and sweet distinctive sound carry his horn into a musical space that defies categorization. There’s a gritty soul and passion that emphatically captures his Philadelphia roots. Jazz is his bloodline. That bloodline began with his mother, pianist Vera Eubanks. She was Kenny Barron’s first piano teacher. His brothers are celebrated trombonist Robin Eubanks and guitarist Kevin Eubanks, with whom he’ll perform on The Jazz Cruise . Legendary pianist Ray Bryant is their uncle. 

He began playing trumpet at 11 but didn’t consider music as a career until college. While studying for a business degree at the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore, Duane joined the university’s jazz band. He jumpstarted himself into opportunities to play with jazz luminaries Stanley Turrentine, Shirley Scott, Charles Fambrough and Clark Terry. Duane studied jazz in master classes at Temple University with the legendary Dr. Billy Taylor. He was later tapped by the late pianist Mulgrew Miller to join his ensemble, Wingspan. Acclaimed bassist/bandleader Dave Holland invited Duane to play with his big band on a pair of Grammy® award-winning albums. He also recorded and played with Elvin Jones, John Hicks, Curtis Fuller, Louis Hayes, Randy Brecker, Avery Sharpe and Nicholas Payton. 

Duane crossed over to play and record with Alicia Keys, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Wu-Tang Clan, and Kirk Franklin. He has played the Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall, and the Kennedy Center, as well as toured throughout Europe, Japan, and the Middle East. His most recent albums as a bandleader are Things of that Particular Nature and DE3-Live at Maxwell’s , both on Sunnyside.

Kevin Eubanks

cruise with christian artists

The guitarist and prolific composer Kevin Eubanks is well known by many as the former Music Director of The Tonight Show band, appearing on the show for 18 years (1992 - 2010). His laid-back style and affability belies the concentration and focus that have made him successful both as a consummate musician and a household name for late-night TV viewers.

Kevin, along with brothers Duane and Robin, was born into a musical household in Philadelphia, PA. His mother, Vera Eubanks, was Kenny Barron’s first piano teacher. Vera’s brother is the legendary pianist Ray Bryant. Kevin began violin lessons at age seven and also studied the trumpet before making his commitment to the guitar, which was solidified with his entrance to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, from which he later received an ‘Honorary Doctorate’ degree.

Kevin would go on to work with jazz greats such as Art Blakey, Slide Hampton, McCoy Tyner, Sam Rivers, Roy Haynes, Dave Holland, Ron Carter and others. In addition to working in other bands, Kevin became the leader of his own groups that have toured all over the world. He has recorded more than 15 albums as a leader, plus several as a co-leader with artists like Orrin Evans and Stanley Jordan. 

Kevin has written scores for both TV movies and full-length independent feature films and he’s appeared on various TV shows from Hollywood Squares to Celebrity Family Feud (with his sister and two brothers!). He has taught at the Louis Armstrong Jazz Camp, the Banff School and Rutgers University, as well as hosting master classes at many colleges and universities. In addition to concert touring, Kevin has begun presenting at conferences around the country not only as a musician but also as a motivational speaker to people of all ages. This marks his debut on The Jazz Cruise . 

Robin Eubanks

cruise with christian artists

Robin Eubanks is one of the premier jazz trombonists of his generation. Whether performing with his groups, EB3 or Mental Images, or with the critically acclaimed Dave Holland Quintet and Big Band, Robin is an artist whose impact on audiences has proven powerful and lasting. Robin has recorded more than seven albums as a leader featuring his original music. 

Robin was born to a very musical family: His brother, Kevin, was the music director for The Tonight Show and another brother, Duane, plays trumpet. Their mother has been a music educator for more than 30 years; and their uncle is the jazz pianist Ray Bryant. Robin began studying music at the age of eight and continued through college, when he graduated cum laud from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Following his graduation, the young trombonist moved to New York City where he began a career that has since yielded an amazing array of collaborations with such notable artists as Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Eddie Palmieri, Sun Ra, Barbra Streisand, The Rolling Stones and Talking Heads—just to name a few. He's won Grammys for his performances on Michael Brecker's Wide Angles and Dave Holland's What Goes Around. 

For the last several years, Robin has divided his rigorous performing schedule with the Mingus Big Band and his own groups with teaching at The Oberlin College Conservatory where he serves as a tenured Professor of Jazz Trombone. He has sailed numerous times on The Jazz Cruise as an All-Star but returns in 2025 to perform with his two brothers.

Houston Person

cruise with christian artists

Houston Person is a legend in jazz. After years as producer and house tenor for HighNote Records and touring with the late Etta Jones, Person is now known as a master of popular songs played in a relaxed, highly accessible style reminiscent of the great Ben Webster. 

Houston’s appearances as sideman are legion, and include recordings with Etta Jones, Lena Horne, Lou Rawls, Dakota Staton, Horace Silver, Charles Earland, Joey DeFrancesco, and many others. As a record producer, he has worked with many artists, including Etta Jones, Freddy Cole, Charles Brown, David ‘Fathead’ Newman, Dakota Staton, and Ernie Andrews. 

The Jazz Cruise knows him best as the most influential person in the history and development of the program. From the start (2001), Houston has been the heart and soul of the cruise, offering his music in a style that makes everyone happy. His grace and leadership have kept The Jazz Cruise on the right track for more than 20 years.

Jeff Hamilton

cruise with christian artists

Drummer Jeff Hamilton has been honing his big band skills since the tender age of 8, earning him a presence on the stage with legends like Ella Fitzgerald, the Count Basie Orchestra, Rosemary Clooney, Monty Alexander, and Diana Krall. Featured in nearly 200 recordings – including 16 Grammy® Award-winning titles – with the likes of Natalie Cole, Barbra Streisand, Mel Torme and Herb Ellis, Jeff also teaches, arranges, and composes for the drums. Mentored by legends such as Oscar Peterson and Ray Brown, Jeff in turn has been a teacher and inspiration to multiple generations of young musicians. 

Jeff is also the co-leader of the Clayton/Hamilton Jazz Orchestra (the Grammy® -nominated big band that provides backup for Diana Krall). The Jeff Hamilton Trio featuring Tamir Hendelman and John Hamar, has been a pillar of The Jazz Cruise for nearly two decades. For years, Jeff has served as the untitled co-producer of The Jazz Cruise aiding our staff with insights and ideas that have made The Jazz Cruise so special. 

One needs to arrive at a Jeff Hamilton event early enough to secure a seat as virtually every drummer on the ship will be there to watch and admire.
