In the world of jazz, there is no more important name than PLAYBOY. In June 2008, Playboy will host their 30th annual celebration of jazz and blues music. This annual event, the Playboy Jazz Festival, has brought jazz lovers and the biggest names in jazz music together since 1959.
Commemorating the 30th anniversary, Playboy and Jazz Cruises are hosting the FIRST EVER Playboy Jazz Cruise . Taking the premise of a jazz festival to the seas is nothing new for us and the Playboy Jazz Cruise promises to be one of our most memorable cruises yet.
