7 Soul Train Cruise VIP Experiences with the Stars

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.

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 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.
