Alan Toussaint's fingerprints are all over America Alan Toussaint's fingerprints are all over American music. Every time his name comes up on the Blues Cruise, it feels less like a memory and more like a thank you for sailing with us. #AlanToussaint #BluesCruise #LRBC #NewOrleansMusic #MusicHistory
Some bands just feel like they belong on the Blues Some bands just feel like they belong on the Blues Cruise. The @cahoneydrops Honeydrops join us again on LRBC #45 this October. You never know where you’ll catch them making music.

Red, White and THE BLUES! Happy Fourth of July. Red, White and THE BLUES! Happy Fourth of July.
It's not a slogan. It's a Blues Pirate's Warning! It's not a slogan. It's a Blues Pirate's Warning! When the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise sails into port, they know we're coming. When we cast off, they know we've been there. We don't slip in quietly. And sadly, if you're on another ship, this banner just says what everyone is thinking. #IYKYK #BluesCruise #BluesFamily #LiveBlues #KeepingTheBluesAlive
EVERY LRBC CRUISER HAS A STASH! Signed posters, sh EVERY LRBC CRUISER HAS A STASH! Signed posters, shirts, hats, mugs, bags, hoodies, room keys, pins, CDs, beads… the little pieces that bring the memories rushing back. Show us your LRBC swag! Drop a photo or memory in the comments and tell us which piece means the most and why. Let’s start getting ready for #45!
Throwing it back to LRBC #43 — Sea of Cortez, 2025 Throwing it back to LRBC #43 — Sea of Cortez, 2025 @kebmomusic gave us “The Worst Is Yet To Come,” which might be the most blues-perfect title ever… because somehow he makes bad news feel like a good time. That’s the Blues Cruise magic: even when the song says trouble’s coming, everybody’s just keeps singing along.
Andy has sailed with us 18 times. Paige has joined Andy has sailed with us 18 times. Paige has joined him for 14. That kind of LRBC loyalty says everything! The Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise is more than a vacation. It's where strangers become lifelong friends, where artists can become part of your circle, and where every meal, every show, and every late-night jam brings the Blues Family closer together. It's about the LOVE for the music! #BluesCruise #BluesFamily #BluesMusic #LiveTheBlues #KeepingTheBluesAlive
Before the Grammy nominations and Blues Music Awar Before the Grammy nominations and Blues Music Awards piled up, @victorwainwright was already turning heads on LRBC stages. Piano players aren’t supposed to bring this much firepower, but Victor has never really followed the rules (you should've seen his cooking demonstration on #44).�#VictorWainwright #BluesPiano #RootsMusic #BluesMusic #BluesCruise
Glasses up! The Sailaway Toast means RELAX, the re Glasses up! The Sailaway Toast means RELAX, the real world gets left at the dock. Every repeat offender (artists and cruisers alike) knows what comes next: a week of beautifully unhinged blues music; once-in-a-lifetime performances and collaborations that may never happen again. Let the magic begin. #BluesCruise #BluesFamily #LiveBlues #JamSession #CruiseLife
In October 2012, LRBC GOAT @ronnie_baker_brooks br In October 2012, LRBC GOAT @ronnie_baker_brooks brought Chicago blues straight to open water. Son of blues legend Lonnie Brooks, Ronnie built his own reputation with explosive live sets that never really stays confined to the stage — as this crowd clearly learned fast.#RonnieBakerBrooks #ChicagoBlues #LiveBlues #BluesCruise #BluesFamily
Ed Early didn’t need a spotlight to command a stag Ed Early didn’t need a spotlight to command a stage. A founding member of The Juke Jumpers and longtime torchbearer of traditional New Orleans trombone, he brought decades of brass, blues, and street-parade soul wherever he played.

From discovering @colinjamesmusic to feeling @sout From discovering @colinjamesmusic to feeling @southernavenuemusic light up the ship with their energy, every sailing leaves its mark. Kim from California is heading into her third Blues Cruise, and like so many repeat offenders, she already gets it. The music pulls you in, the people keep you coming back, and every cruise delivers another artist you can’t stop talking about. #BluesCruise #SouthernAvenue #ColinJames #BluesFamily #LiveBlues
