Houseband musicians must have the ability to sight-read and improvise well, and equally important, the versatility to perform many different styles (rock, pop, jazz, funk, Latin) and to assimilate a large amount of music in a short amount of time. It is, essentially, the ocean’s equivalent of the studio musician. Showbands are generally used to play Vegas-style production shows, accompany headlining entertainers, and to perform rock and jazz sets for guests; the wide variety of music, as well as the opportunity to play with many other talented musicians, makes this job both challenging and highly rewarding.

Solo Entertainers perform nightly, either vocal or instrumental music, in a dedicated room or a variety of venues on board. You should have a repertoire of at least 200 songs, covering genres from the 50’s till today. Successful soloists must be comfortable and confident in entertaining a crowd without the help of a backing band.

This broad category includes any musical act on board consisting of two or more people. Such groups usually specialize in a particular genre of music, but repertoire and stylistic versatility are always encouraged. Lounge groups perform in various venues around the ship; some promote dancing, others lean more towards easy listening, but all provide excellent musical entertainment for guests.
