What: The Smooth Jazz Cruise - 3
When: September 11 - September 18, 2026
Where: Vancouver – Victoria – San Francisco – Los Angeles
Changing it up a bit, the cruise will sail on the West Coast (Vancouver – Victoria – San Francisco – Los Angeles) and will feature fabulous excursions curated by Jazz Cruises in both Victoria and San Francisco.
Another amazing lineup of musicians, led by Marcus Miller and Boney James, and featuring Brian Culbertson, Jonathan Butler, Candy Dulfer, Rick Braun, Richard Elliot and Mindi Abair will be presented. After years of asking, former baseball star and jazz guitarist Bernie Williams will be onboard and Jazz Cruises is bringing the bands back together for the cruise, as WAR and Tower of Power will be performing.
Also onboard will be our customary lineup of first class Featured Performers, amazing Musicians and the legendary DW3. SXM’s Talaya is back to host great events and no cruise would be the same without our comic-in-residence, Alonzo Bodden!
