Guest performers are headlining acts that are contracted for a single appearance on a special cruise – a country music themed cruise, for example, may feature several celebrity country musicians for that one voyage.
Performing on cruise ships is great exposure for talented artists, and at the same time they are able to travel the world and experience a wide variety of destinations – even crew members are often permitted to go ashore and enjoy new sites when their duties do not interfere.

I guess it’s an artist performing on a show that is from another band or group. That’s what I understand about a guest performer.

I have organized a group ((12) senior women’s dance team (ages 56 -77). We would like to perform on a cruise ship as guest. I know high school groups perform, but who would I contact for some entertainment by some energetic seniors. We have been invited to do two state conventions in Sept. and Nov. 2010. Please send suggestions.
Many thanks.

hi David:
I’m a solo act, singing and playing guit and percussion, 50% of the songs with sequences backing tracks. But just latin music. I really need a 6 month contract in a cruise ship. Can I get a cruise job with that kind of act?
Thank you
