Surprises

After over 20 years of sailing the Caribbean, The Jazz Cruise went west in 2006 for it's first ever Mexican Riviera Cruise - and a total sell out! But now we return to the Caribbean with the most popular ports of call, sailing November 11 - 18, on Holland America Line and virtually the same ship we have used in the past - the m/s Westerdam (which is the newest sister ship of the m/s Zuiderdam and Oosterdam).

We take you to these favorite ports-of-call: Nassau, St. Thomas, St. Maarten and Half Moon Cay departing from Fort Lauderdale.

Booking for those not attending The Jazz Cruise 2006 will begin on Monday, November 6, 2006. As always the current guests had the first opportunity to book during the week of their cruise, from October 28-November 4, 2006. Be sure to check in on this web site for more information!

HOLLAND AMERICA LINE
m/s WESTERDAM

The Jazz Cruise, like all of the cruises produced and promoted by Jazz Cruises, LLC, is offered by full ship charter with Holland America Line. Jazz Cruises, LLC has elected to use Holland America Line exclusively for its operations for several important reasons:

Holland America Line offers the finest food and the friendliest and most competent service in the industry.
Holland America Line’s accommodations, including its large percentage of staterooms with verandas, superb suites and the industry’s finest lower priced staterooms, offers our guests the best selection of living quarters.
Holland America Line’s V-Class Ships, with a capacity for our use of just over 1800 passengers, is the proper balance between sufficient size to provide services to our guests and maintaining the intimacy that has been the hallmark of The Jazz Cruise for so many years.
Holland America Line operates from several cities of
embarkation, thereby offering us a high degree of flexibility in terms of ports-of-call and other experiences. Most important of all, Holland America Line’s venues work for the proper presentation of our music.

OPEN BOOKING FOR
JAZZ CRUISE 2006

Open Booking for The Jazz Cruise 2007 began immediately after the end of The Jazz Cruise 2006, which was the beginning of November 2006. Though excellent staterooms remain, over 65% of the capacity of the ship has been booked and every sailing of The Jazz Cruise in the past five years has been a “sell out” months before sailing. So it is wise and important to complete your stateroom selection and booking process as soon as possible.
