SEATTLE, July 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Seabourn, the world's finest ultra-luxury cruise line, is bringing two legendary jazz musicians aboard two select itineraries this fall. Guests will be able to listen to the cool sounds of Arturo Sandoval and John Pizzarelli as they share some of their most popular works.

Seabourn, the world’s finest ultra-luxury cruise line, is bringing two legendary jazz musicians aboard two select Caribbean voyages this fall. Guests can enjoy the iconic sounds of 10-time Grammy Award Winner Arturo Sandoval on board Seabourn Quest’s 24-Day Caribbean & Brazilian Exploration voyage, departing Nov. 5 from Miami; and esteemed guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli on Seabourn Sojourn’s 18-Day Panama Canal cruise departing Nov. 15 from Los Angeles.

Sandoval is one of the most dynamic and vivacious live performers of our time, and has been seen by millions at the Oscars, the Grammy Awards, and the Billboard Awards. He has been awarded 10 Grammy Awards, and nominated 19 times. He has also received six Billboard Awards and an Emmy Award.

Pizzarelli has been hailed by the Boston Globe for "reinvigorating the Great American Songbook and re-popularizing jazz." The Seattle Times saluted him as "a rare entertainer of the old school."

"Seabourn promises the finest cruises with luxurious onboard amenities, carefully crafted itineraries, and experiences created for our guests to remember," said Richard Meadows, president of Seabourn.
