Love to cruise and shake your groove thing? Well, prepare to get down on the upcoming Soul Train cruise, which will hit the high seas in 2013.

Twelve acts are already on the roster, which includes big names like Patti LaBelle, The O'Jays and Kool & The Gang. Other performers include War, The Spinners, Jeffrey Osborne, Harold Melvin’s Blue Notes, Russell Thompkins Jr & The New Stylistics, Cuba Gooding & The Main Ingredient, Gerald Alston of the Manhattans, The Intruders and George Duke. More will be announced.

The cruise will be hosted aboard Holland America's Westerdam, with nightly shows to be held in the Vista Lounge. The rest of the cruise is set up in a "festival style," with multiple shows and activities occurring simultaneously.

From February 17-24, 2013, cruisers will make their Soul Train lines between ports of call in the Turks and Caicos, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and the Bahamas. Cabins range from $1,800 to $7,500 with early reservation. For more info, see the cruise's website.

How does the huffpo allow this bigotry to be posted in the comments section? Not hurtful its just that who is the moderator. I am used tothe juvenlie name calling on the internet thats what these cowards do. They are not man enough to do it in real life so they get online and post this stuff but i thought Huffpo had censors.

Let the racist speak, they are representing a large portion of Americans that wouldn't perhaps get on here and say the same thing. I would never silence them somehow in these times we seem to forget America was built on racism and separation. It’s going to take a long time to rid itself of this, if ever. And don't think because the older generation will die out racism will end. These racist are being produced and converted every day.

I wonder if my previous comment will be posted....I bet it won't

huffpost...why do you allow ignorant racist and/or evil and/or sickening statements, but you block people countering those statements. I wonder if whomever it is that you have checking the posts are racist, evil, pedophiliacs and so forth.

It's amazing what you all let through....

To be politically correct, shouldn't David Bowie be invited to perform as he was the first White act to appear on Soul Train?
