"hippest trip at sea" will depart from Ft. Lauderdale, FL on
Saturday, January 30th and sail through Saturday, February 6th with stops in
Grand Cayman, Ocho Rios (Jamaica), CocoCay (Bahamas) and Key West aboard the
Celebrity Constellation, renowned for its refined elegance and lavish service.
"Soul Train keeps getting better, 45 years after the
great Don Cornelius introduced it to the world," says Eddie Levert of The
O'Jays, who will be performing onboard the 2016 cruise. "For everyone who loves R&B, loves a
first-class vacation, and loves to have a lot of fun, this is the trip for them
– and me!" "We are so excited about returning to the Soul Train
Cruise," adds O'Jays co-founder Walter Williams. "We get to see old friends, many of them
legends of R&B, and meet our fans up close and personal during our time on
the ship. It's like nothing we've ever experienced before."
Longtime Soul Train television show producer Tony Cornelius,
remarks "I'm especially excited that Smokey Robinson, The O'Jays and The
Whispers are going to be a part of the 2016 Soul Train Cruise. These gentlemen were extremely close to my
father and we're going to celebrate a lot of love, peace and soul together on
the cruise." Michael Mitchell, Soul
Train Cruise Executive Producer and StarVista LIVE / Time Life Vice President,
explains, "The Soul Train Cruise has become a vacation like no other, it
combines the biggest entertainers in classic R&B in a relaxed luxurious
setting. We are constantly looking for
new ways to deliver the very best to our guests, and this year we've got an
incredible lineup and will be sailing on the Celebrity Constellation for the
first time, a gorgeous, top-of-the-line ship with a modern elegance."
Guests on the Soul Train Cruise attend concerts by R&B
superstars every day and night while on the cruise, held in intimate theatres
that bring them closer to the performers than most concert halls on land. These superstars entertain off the stage as
well, giving cruisers a chance to rub elbows with them as they participate in
interactive, artist-hosted events such as cocktail parties, meet & greets
with fans, panel discussions, interviews in front of live audiences and
embarking on many of the excursions in the stunning islands the ship docks in
during the journey.
