Jazz Cruises is excited to announce STL Jazz Fest, two nights of amazing music presented by Jazz Cruises, the GOLD standard of jazz at sea since 2001.

Known worldwide for its first-class jazz cruise programs, Jazz Cruises applies its skills and commitment equally to land based events.  For many years, Jazz Cruises has presented The Smooth Jazz Cruise on Land in St. Louis.  This year we are expanding our musical offerings to reflect more of our cruise programs and music.

Jazz Cruises newest program combines the finest music experience with unprecedented land-based excursions and is doing so on the West Coast for the first time in over a decade. Join hosts Marcus Miller & Gregory Porter as we sail on Celebrity Summit from Vancouver to Los Angeles from 09.12.25 – 09.19.25 with calls on Victoria BC and San Francisco.

Botti at Sea ’24 was the first sailing of this program, and, by all standards, it was a runaway hit. Reaching fully reserved status months before sailing was an indication of the excitement the cruise generated, and the sailing only confirmed that the hype was real. Botti at Sea II (’25) sports another amazing lineup and, if possible, Host Chris Botti has vowed to be even more active and involved than he was on Botti at Sea ’24.

A class program in every sense of the word, prepare to be DAZZLED!

Since 2001, The Jazz Cruise has set the standard for jazz entertainment at sea, and, in the minds of many has become the most significant “straight-ahead” jazz event in the world. One hundred jazz musicians. Two hundred hours of music. The musicians themselves call the program “Straight-Ahead Jazz Heaven”.

The Jazz Cruise ’25 will be the 25th Anniversary sailing of this special event. Join us for the celebration of the program and of this amazing music.

The Smooth Jazz Cruise is unrivaled in this genre due to the amazing artists and guests who, together, have created and sustained what is known worldwide as “The Greatest Party at Sea.” The ’25 Sailings will kickoff the third decade of sailings and will do so in style as we unveil our very own Super Band, The Summit (Marcus Miller, David Sanborn, Lee Ritenour, Bob James & Dave Weckl). Both sailings are fully reserved at the moment, so we urge those wishing to join us to JOIN THE WAITLIST!
