Soul Train Cruise: A Week of Soul and Funk Legends in the United States

The Soul Train Cruise sets sail from February 1-8, 2026 aboard the Holland America Cruise Line, celebrating the iconic show's legacy with a week of legendary soul, funk, and R&B. This musical cruise brings together the icons who defined the sound of the 70s and 80s, with headliners KOOL & THE GANG, Ohio Players, and The Sugarhill Gang, promising an unforgettable maritime odyssey.

This celebration of disco and contemporary R&B transforms the ship into a temple of groove music. Legends Sounds Of Blackness and Morris Day & The Time revive the golden age of pop soul, while Deniece Williams and Jeffery Osborne deliver timeless quiet storm ballads.

The festival incorporates hip-hop roots with pioneers of old school hip hop and east coast hip hop. Johnny Gill brings his smooth soul touch, while Third World adds reggae and jazz-funk influences to the musical journey.

This legendary soul festival at sea also celebrates the gospel and dance-pop influences that shaped Black American music. With Ruben Studdard representing the new generation, Soul Train Cruise creates a bridge between generations, offering seven days of intimate performances, dancing, and celebration of African American musical heritage on the waves.
