Honolulu Blue Cruising Blog

There are dozens of music theme cruises available to be booked, representing many different genres. There is likely to be at least one of interest to you. Many more details (including dates, itineraries, and performers) can be found by clicking on the link provided. In parentheses are the types of music that will mostly be represented on the cruise, if known, and if not obvious by the description.

I have grouped them by charter company. You can see that a few companies have a large portion of the music charters. If you’d prefer a list by music genre, click here.
