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

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
