Saga Cruises has announced its entertainment line-up for 2022 and 2023.

Pianist and broadcaster Jools Holland returns and will be joined by tenor Alfie Boe and celebrity chefs Phil Vickery and Kevin Woodford.

Holland will be performing on six cruises between February and September 2023, while platinum-selling singer Boe will perform on the Morocco and the Islands of the Atlantic cruise on Spirit of Discovery which departs from Southampton on November 15, 2022.

Vickery, who appears on ITV’s This Morning, will join the Cape Verde and the Canaries cruise departing on November 19, 2022, to give a live cookery demonstration and a Q&A session.

Woodford will perform a Can’t Cook, Won’t Cook masterclass and a Q&A session on the Flavours of the Western Mediterranean cruise, departing October 31.

Saga Cruises chief executive Nigel Blanks said: “We’re delighted to welcome back Jools Holland – he’s a huge favourite with our guests – as well as Alfie Boe, Phil Vickery and Kevin Woodford, who we know will be enormously popular.

“We also revamped our onboard shows in the theatre and Britannia Lounge earlier in the year, and our popular dance hosts have been reintroduced to accompany guests on the floor, so our entertainment really is something special.”

The shows are all in in additional to the entertainment line-up already announced for each cruise.
