The Evenings

A different world after dark.

The Jazz Salon

Late-night jazz, a vintage mic, a grand piano.

The Speakeasy

A password, vintage cocktails, after dark.

Opera & Crossover

Arias and crossover, candlelit.

The Headliner

An intimate set — money-can't-buy access.

The Wine Vault

Rhine harvest, private Riesling tastings.

Cocktails Until Late

Champagne, swing, and the company of a lifetime.

Curated by Oakdale Entertainment. Headline performers are announced as we draw closer to sailing — a few surprises we’re keeping for the nights themselves.
