7 Soul Train Cruise VIP Experiences with the Stars That Will Blow Your Mind
So many individuals have favorite recording artists that they love. Quite often, they collectively groove at concerts in arenas with thousands of people. But the magnificent Soul Train Cruise, presented annually by StarVista LIVE, offers an unbelievably elevated experience with individuals’ beloved artists. What makes the fantastic voyage extra special is that it presents an unparalleled, up-close and personal encounter.
On this year’s 2019 cruise, by day, many of the celebrities were seen leisurely strolling throughout the ship personally greeting fans and signing autographs. By night, as the ship meandered gently through the seas to the exotic islands of the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Half Moon Cay, guests jammed to the soulful melodies of the world-famous artists.
There are several planned events that allow for celebrity interaction with guests on this annual cruise. With per person prices starting at $1,900 for interior staterooms to $9,575 for Pinnacle Suites, you will have the time of your life on this nightly themed, sensational cruise.
Go to Lido Deck Performances
Guests can get a great look at the performers and can literally step away from them. In some instances, once the singers come off stage, they are kind enough to greet the fans and take photos with them. Performers included The Dazz Band of “Let it Whip” fame and George Clinton with smash hits like Flashlight, Knee Deep, Aqua Boogie, Atomic Dog, and One Nation Under a Groove.
Attend Daily Devotionals and Renew Your Wedding Vows
Each morning, pastor and superstar actor Clifton Davis, starring in shows like Madam Secretary, Blue Bloods, New Amsterdam, and Chinese Cop, hosted Daily Devotional in an intimate environment. Guests spoke with him at each service. It is a really great honor to have a celebrity to officiate the renewal of your wedding vows. Pastor Davis did so for guests and took photos with the couples afterward.
Get Tickets to the Elite Wine Tasting Event
Wine enthusiasts can spend one on one time with the host of this exclusive event. Legendary recording artist, Marshall Thompson of The Chi-Lites, with songs like Oh Girl, Have You Seen Her, and Stoned Out of My Mind, was the host of this event which benefited the Don Cornelius Foundation.
Attend All Access Pass Interviews
This event allows guest to sit and listen to the best performers in the world, such as Smokey Robinson and Gladys Knight, reminisce about their stellar careers and share details on upcoming tours. Moderated by Tony Cornelius, cruise host and son of legendary Soul Train creator Don Cornelius, the attendees get an opportunity to learn all about the record labels and how and why songs were written.
Go to the Soul of the 70’s Q & A Events
In these intimate events, the audience gets an opportunity to ask the questions of their choice and get them answered right then and there. This was a special time for fans to learn all they want to know about their idols including The Chi-Lites, Ray, Goodman, and Brown, The Ohio Players, and Dazz Band.
Attend the Women’s Seminar and Dance Classes
Everything women would want to know can be asked of a celebrity in the Girl Talk event. It’s especially nice when the advice comes from Superstar Evelyn Champagne King with credits such as Shame, Love Come Down, and Betcha She Doesn’t Love You. After eating the great cuisine, cruisers took part in dance classes with famed and iconic Soul Train dancer Cheryl Song.
Disembark at Half Moon Cay
Cruisers should definitely get off the ship at Half Moon Cay. That’s because the celebrities get off too! They take photos and chat with the guests about most anything you like. Fans were behind one of The Ohio Players at the ice cream tent, standing shoulder to shoulder with Clifton Davis at the fabulous outdoor buffet, and lounging on the beach near other VIP.
