The Big Easy Cruise returns to the Caribbean January 16 – 23, 2027 for its fourth year following two consecutive sell-outs. Keb’ Mo’, Samantha Fish, Robert Randolph, The Record Company and Kenny Neal lead the initial lineup of acts who will perform aboard the Holland America Line’s m/s Eurodam for the authentic celebration of the spirit of New Orleans music, food, culture and community at sea.

The seven-night voyage departs from Port Everglades Cruise Port in Fort Lauderdale with port stops in Half Moon Cay, Bahamas; San Juan, Puerto Rico and Philipsburg, St. Maarten. Additional performers include Duane Betts & Palmetto Motel, Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Dwayne Dopsie & The Zydeco Hellraisers, , Mia Borders, John Boutté, Andrew Duhon, Al “Lil Fats” Jackson, The New Orleans Suspects, River Eckert and Joe Krown.

Many more acts will be added to the bill in the months to come. All told, the floating music festival presented by StarVista LIVE will host over 75 live performances. Special activities are also on offer, including live artist interviews, themed parties, cooking demonstrations with Chef Kevin Belton, burlesque shows, wine tastings and more.

“The cruise combines great music, passionate fans and a party dedicated to the music, food and culture inspired by America’s most unique city and region,” noted Mike Jason, President of StarVista LIVE. “Guests often come for the headliners but come back having discovered the wide variety of world class music from lesser-known artists.”
