If you're a fan of Traditional Jazz, Classic Jazz, Chicago Jazz, Swing, in fact just about any style which emerged during the first half of the 20th century, plan to attend JazzFest at Sea - one of the premier jazz cruises of the year. We will be departing from New York for an amazing jazz cruise to Canada and New England on the MSC Meraviglia for 10-nights. Not only will you have your choice of amazing evening performances on our jazz cruise, but you are also invited to the afternoon sessions as well. All presented in an intimate jazz club atmosphere limited to 200 guests!
In addition to our internationally acclaimed artists, we will once again be offering nearly forty hours of opportunity for our guests who are amateur musicians to jam in your own JazzFest Jammer sessions many of which will be led by John Skillman and Mike Evans. Plus, if you would appreciate some instruction and critique during the jam sessions feel free to ask! But remember, only those who book with Cruise & Vacation Depot or an approved agency will be allowed to participate!
With pricing starting at only $1299 per person including taxes and fees, this is the perfect vacation getaway for all jazz lovers. Contact us today at 1-800-654-8090.

As expected, our Jazz History Tour sold out almost immediately. It will be a great time visiting the Louis Armstrong Home and Museum, as well as discovering the sights and sounds in Harlem that shaped jazz as we know it today. Additionally, we do have hotel space still available, however, our transportation to the pier is full. Contact us soon if you need a pre-night hotel.
April 2023
Information on excursions, our pre-cruise hotel and our exclusive Jazz History Tour in New York has now been released. Please contact us if you didn't receive an email.
"It’s not just the variety of musicians that makes JazzFest at Sea so popular. It’s having so many musicians thrown together in a relaxed, less-structured environment that offers moments of totally unrehearsed magic."
