Jazz cruises are very popular. There is only one thing better than taking a cruise and that is to take a theme cruise.

This web page introduces you to great cruises, and the company that promotes them. These sailings take place throughout the year and you will find that there is a jazz flavor for everyone.

A cruise sailing is typically for one week. However, some cruises are longer, such as the 2007 inaugural sailing of the North Sea Jazz Cruise - a 12-day affair.
