St. Louis appeared as Glinda in 'Wicked' (Broadway and national tour), Sherrie in 'Rock of Ages' (Broadway and Las Vegas), Rose in 'Titanique' (off-Broadway) and Lauren in the closing cast of the Tony Award Winner for Best Musical 'Kinky Boots' on Broadway.

She'll join Scenic Eclipse's 'Sounds of Discovery' sailing Oct. 12. Passengers can choose between a five-day Bermuda escape or a 13-day journey to the Bahamas with a stop in Miami.

St. Louis will deliver a series of performances and participate in question and answer sessions and photo opportunities.

Ben Robinson on Emerald Azzurra

Ben Robinson, known for his role on Bravo TV’s 'Below Deck series, will return to Emerald Cruises for a third appearance, this one aboard Emerald Azzurra's Jan. 25 Caribbean cruise. The seven-night voyage travels from from St. John's, Antigua, to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Passengers will have the opportunity to mingle with the chef throughout the journey, starting with a welcome cocktail reception. An interactive cooking demonstration will offer participants the chance to learn and recreate one of Robinson's dishes.

Additionally, cruisers can live out 'Below Deck' fantasies during a gourmet multi-course dinner with dishes crafted by Robinson from locally sourced Caribbean ingredients and served at La Cucina.

Emerald Cruises is offering two-for-one fares with pay-in-full options and additional savings of up to $500 per suite when booked by Sept. 30, 2024.
