More than 60 entertainers including Diana Ross, Patti LaBelle, New Edition and Johnny Gill are booked for the 2016 Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage on Carnival Breeze.

For the fourth consecutive year, Carnival Cruise Line is partnering with the Tom Joyner Foundation on the 'Ultimate Party with a Purpose,' to benefit the Historical Black Colleges and Universities. The Tom Joyner Foundation Fantastic Voyage presented by Ford is hosted by Joyner, a radio personality and philanthropist.

The cruise will be a customized eight-day Caribbean voyage departing April 23 with calls at St. Thomas, St. Maarten and Grand Turk.

'We sell out every year and our partner, Carnival, takes the event to the next level with a premiere ship and outstanding service,' Joyner said.

The ship will be programmed with exclusive concerts, fitness classes and inspiration and empowerment seminars. Theme nights include All Black Everything, Denim & Diamonds, #FlashbackFriday, Mardi Gras, Pajama Night, Represent Night, White Night and a formal Sneaker Ball. There will also be day parties including a special event to honor military veterans.
