The Exciting Onboard Activities for 2017

What makes the Soul Train Cruise so unique are the onboard activities and events that bring the Love, Peace and Soul spirit to life.  Because of fans like you, we have just as much fun planning and participating in the theme nights and putting together the creative ways to celebrate the special time together. Check out what we have in store for you this year:

Theme Nights:

Get packing for these nightly themes:

  • Sunday:  White Night – A Soul Train Cruise favorite! We can’t wait to see you in your finest hot-white attire for a night of dancing and fun.
  • Monday:  Pa-JAM-a Party – Get comfy in your (appropriate and tasteful) PJs and meet us under the stars for a pajama party on the Lido Deck.
  • Tuesday:  Sports Jersey Night: It’s that easy… throw on your favorite sports jersey and support your team.
  • Wednesday: Funk Night: Put on your boogie shoes, it’s time to get down tonight!
  • Thursday: Formal Night: From funky to formal, this is your night to shine. Bring out your chicest outfit and dress to impress.

Wine Tasting:

They had so much fun a couple of years ago that Tony Cornelius has invited his pal, Peabo Bryson, back to co-host the Don Cornelius Family of Fine Wines Wine Tasting Event.  Tony and Peabo will join the ship’s distinguished sommelier to showcase premier wines paired with a traditional soul food menu for an educational, delicious and inspiring event. 

Considerable time, detail and “soul” have been contemplated to produce a delicious menu that accentuates its perfect vintage counterpart.  100% of all proceeds from this magical event that celebrates the legacy of Don Cornelius, will benefit the Don Cornelius Foundation, which is dedicated to establishing programs for awareness, prevention, and support for those contemplating suicide or for survivors who have lost loved ones to suicide. 

  • Guest price:  $39.99 per person

Space is limited, so register now by signing in to your StarVista LIVE account and select “Wine Tasting” or call 844-718-7246.


Basketball Tourney at Sea:

For those who've "got game":

Attention all players, be sure to pack your basketball gear for our friendly 3 on 3 tournament hosted by Soul Train Cruise Basketball Czar Victor Porter.  Grab your boys – or girls – co-ed is welcome and check your daily program for details on how to sign up.

These are just a handful of activities in store for you, but as you know, in addition to the amazing 24/7 music, we always have special fun and activities planned. Click here for other information for our 2017 sailing and we look forward to seeing you on the Hippest Trip at Sea in March!
