半岛体育 Travel is now booking for the next offering of 鈥渢heatre camp at sea," a.k.a Seth's Big Fat Broadway Cruise: Canaries and Portugal. Created by SiriusXM Broadway host, 半岛体育 columnist, actor, and musician Seth Rudetsky and his husband, producer James Wesley Jackson; the new voyage is scheduled for October 8-19.
Theatre-loving travelers are invited to board the Celebrity Apex in Southampton, England, then venture through Spain鈥檚 Vigo, Tenerife, and Gran Canaria, and Portugal鈥檚 Funchal (Madeira), Lisbon, and Porto (Leixos). While on board, guests will participate in numerous theatre-themed events and concerts, with an all-star roster of performers to be announced at a later date.
鈥淎ttendees love the interactive nature of the cruises," Rudetsky says. In addition to his signature concerts with the various Broadway stars, where actors answer Rudetsky's questions in between performing their favorite tunes, passengers have the rare opportunity to perform with the Broadway artists, participate in a broadcast of Rudetsky's SiriusXM radio program, and take a performance master class (programming is subject to change).
"At the end of the week, we do a variety show," adds Rudetsky. "So, all the stars perform together, but also the passengers can if they want to. They work all week preparing, and then they join the stars on their signature songs. When the late, great Chita Rivera was on board, we did 'All That Jazz' with the passengers doing the backup. And when Judy Kuhn did the cruise, we did 'One Day More.' She was Cosette, Adam Pascal was Jean Valjean, and the passengers were everyone else. The passengers get to join the stars as they literally recreate their big numbers while performing with them!鈥�
In between performances, guests can explore 29 distinct restaurants, bars, and lounges within the ship, plus on-board amenities including a state-of-the-art spa, casino, and a shopping district curated with upscale brands and products. The ship's Resort Deck also offers sweeping views, an on-board solarium, a rooftop garden, swimming pools, and more.
