“SiriusXM Broadway” host Seth Rudetsky announces the return of Seth Rudetsky’s Big Fat Broadway Vacations with four cruises in 2022. The Broadway-themed sailings are scheduled in the Western Caribbean, Mediterranean, Norwegian Fjords and Transatlantic and each feature a stellar line-up of performers who will not only entertain cruisers but also lead them in master classes and workshops in Broadway performance, choreography, singing and more. (Participation is optional). 

Programming also includes daily interviews and intimate concerts where you’ll see Broadway performers up-close and personal, plus a schedule of shore excursions. Led by the current hosts of the charity livestream “Stars in the House,” Seth Rudetsky and his inimitable husband James Wesley, the cruise-within-a-cruise culminates in a final production with participants performing with the stars.

Cruise partners for the new season are Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Celebrity, and Cunard. Planned cruise dates are January 8, April 19, July 16 and October 7.

“The experience is unlike anything else that you’ll see on a cruise,” notes founder Rudetsky. “Workshops, rehearsals, Broadway games and a final variety show are shared with the stars who also join you for meals, excursions and after-show cocktails. This is Broadway for insiders who love to travel, learn and perform … with just a bit of attitude.”
