Festivals at Sea has an extremely strong and dedicated staff to server you. We are proud of our commitment to excellence and have the honor to be affiliated with Dr. Allen Beck, who serves as our Executive Director:

Dr. Allen Beck, Festivals at Sea Executive Director: With the pleasure of having four years as Executive Director for this program, I have engaged over 150 adjudicators. We have worked with internationally known band, orchestra and choral conductors and educators who tell us the combination of fun and education provided by Festivals at Sea is an unbeatable duo; it is an event that the students will remember for many years. These directors have been especially pleased with adjudicators like Elliot Del Borgo, Jim Curnow, Drs. Jerry Junkin, Paula Holcomb, John Wakefield, Robert Harris, James Bankhead and Anna Hamre. We, too, believe you will be pleased with your encounter on-board one of our cruises, and that your students will advance musically with the experience. I can think of no better enjoyable way to reward your students and expose them to the world’s finest musicians and educators at the same time.
