Cool jazz, cool place: Kenny G to sail Alaska

The unique sounds of Grammy Award winner Kenny G will be heard at sea, as he takes his fans to Alaska on a cruise in May of 2013.

Celebrity Cruises 'Celebrity Millennium' has been chartered for the group, which sails May 17-24, 2013.  The world-renowned saxophonist will not only offer multiple performances during the sailing, but will also mix and mingle with guests onboard throughout the cruise. Other recognized artists will be announced later that will perform during the sailing.

Kenny G is the biggest selling instrumentalist of all time, having sold more than 75 million records worldwide, and with more than a dozen chart toppers on Billboard's contemporary jazz chart.  In the last year alone, he performed in more than 100 concerts in the US, Asia and Russia.

He recently appeared on Saturday Night Live, performing with Foster the People, played a prominent role in pop artist Katy Perry's video hit, 'Last Friday Night', and appeared on several Audi TV commercials during the 2011 Super Bowl.

"I'm excited for the opportunity to cruise with my closest fans aboard Celebrity Millennium", said Kenny G. "The experience of playing with my band and sharing the breathtaking sights of one of the most beautiful destinations in the world will be one I'll remember forever. This cruise will allow me to spend quality time and get to know the fans onboard, just as they've gotten to know me through my music. Sailing with them on a week-long Celebrity Cruises vacation will be a highlight of my career, and I can't wait to share the journey."

Montrose Travel is the exclusive booking agent for this charter cruise; however, agents from other firms also have the opportunity to book their clients on the sailing.

Unlike many charters, travel agencies wishing to book their clients on the Kenny G Cruise can do so and still receive commission, said Celebrity Cruises North American Charter Sales Manager Andrea Sieger. Local agents should contact Montrose Travel to register their agency in order to receive commission.
