A Word from Executive Producer Michael Mitchell
Fall is upon us with the leaves turning a beautiful array of colors and the days becoming cool and crisp. With fall, we have football season and college homecomings occupying late September and early October weekends. This always reminds me that the Soul Train Cruise is a homecoming itself as fans of classic soul and R&B music come together for their yearly Caribbean-bound Hippest Trip at Sea.
The Soul Train Cruise family has shown an endless dedication to and support of the Soul Train Cruise as we get ready to celebrate our 5th Anniversary together. We at StarVista LIVE continue to strive to create an onboard experience that would capture the fun, energy, excitement and camaraderie of the weekly Soul Train television show. Just as Don Cornelius brought his viewers the best in R&B music, we bring you the biggest and brightest classic R&B performers, on the high seas, with the added twist of allowing you to interact with these superstars up close and personal with our many interactive activities.
Although the famous saying is “Have no wine before its time,” on the Soul Train Cruise it is always time now that our wine tasting event has become another tradition. We are excited to announce that Peabo Bryson will join Tony Cornelius to host one of the best-loved Soul Train Cruise events, The Don Cornelius Foundation Wine Tasting. This annual event, which benefits The Don Cornelius Foundation, is bound to be a great time for all. As always, proceeds from the yearly event go to the Don Cornelius Foundation and its fight to identify and support programs that provide awareness, prevention and support for those contemplating suicide and survivors who have lost loved ones due to suicide; assisting those who are in need of healing. A selection of wines will be paired with classic soul food recipes for an exciting adventure for your taste buds! See more details in this newsletter and call 844-718-7246 to sign up.
There are less than 50 cabins remaining on the 2017 Soul Train Cruise. If you haven’t booked and would like to join us on the Hippest Trip at Sea, don’t delay!
