Taking a cruise with the blues Posted on June 16th
A light breeze blows across the pool deck, as the Oosterdam heads south along the Mexican Riviera. People sun themselves in lounge chairs, sipping fruity daiquiris and munching appetizers served from the seemingly never-ending buffets.
Sounds like a typical cruise, except this one is decidedly different. This vacation at sea has a live soundtrack featuring Tommy Castro, Elvin Bishop, Curtis Salgado, Ron Thompson, Taj Mahal, Eric Lindell and more than 70 other blues music greats.
It’s the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise - one of the first, and best known, of the increasingly popular music-themed cruises now on the market - and it’s nothing less than pure nirvana for a vacationing blues traveler.
Imagine being in a place where the music seemingly never stops, where a fan can select from an absolute smorgasbord of concerts taking place at the same time on multiple stages. There are no wrong choices, because the musicians have all been hand-picked to meet your distinct musical taste. Now add in all the regular luxuries associated with a cruise, from the fine dining to fun poolside activities, and sprinkle with shore excursions at various exotic stops.
