Since 2001, the team at Signature Cruise Experiences has produced more than 90 full ship charters, each with its own theme, entertainment, and signature experience. While the programs of Jazz Cruises have dominated the efforts, the team has produced several programs outside the jazz world.

Many of these programs were developed with and sold to partners and operators who continue to present these themes. 

Discover a cruise experience like none other! Embark on a journey where luxury meets adventure, where every moment is meticulously curated to give you an immersive entertainment experience!

Previous programs include: NASCAR: The Cruise, Celtic Thunder Cruise, Soul Train Cruise, Malt Shop Memories Cruise, Country Music Cruise, Star Trek: The Cruise, The Gospel Music Cruise and The Elvis Cruise

Most of the Signature Cruise Experience programs were created and produced by the team at Jazz Cruises, a Signature Cruise Experiences company. Today, Jazz Cruises is the producer of the current offering(s) of The Jazz CruiseThe Smooth Jazz CruiseBotti at SeaJourney of Jazz and Christian McBride’s World at Sea.

These programs are very popular and consistently are fully reserved months before sailing. More than 18,000 guests have sailed on a Jazz Cruises’ program four times or more. Proudly, Signature Cruise Experiences believes that there is a Jazz Cruises’ program for every jazz fan and a signature cruise experience for fans across all music and entertainment genres.
