Music, Mystery and Murder on the Mexican Riviera! with A Touch of Mystery & More Entertainment Group
What happens when two rival big bands, a ship full of suspicious characters and one musical murder mystery set sail together?
You get Music Can Be MURDER! A High Seas Musical Whodunit, an unforgettable seven-day Mexican Riviera cruise presented by A Touch of Mystery & More Entertainment Group!
From January 16–23, 2027, we’re heading back to the high seas aboard Holland America’s beautiful and stately Zuiderdam, sailing round-trip from San Diego, California. This isn’t simply a cruise with a mystery show added to the itinerary. The mystery unfolds around you throughout the entire week, turning your vacation into an interactive adventure filled with music, comedy, clues and suspicious characters.
But don’t wait too long to join the fun: the last day to register is October 18, 2026!
Welcome to the Big Band Extravaganza
Music Can Be MURDER! transports guests to the fabulous 1940s, where the first Big Band Extravaganza is about to begin. There’s just one little problem: two rival bands have been hired to perform—and neither one knew the other would be there.
There is certainly no love lost between these competitors, and it quickly becomes clear that there may not be enough room aboard for both bands. Someone is about to go flat…and we don’t mean musically!
Throughout the cruise, you’ll meet our colorful cast of suspects:
- Clive Grayson, band leader
- Phyllis Davis, band singer
- Rose MacGuire, the personal secretary
- Glenn Grayson, trumpet player
- Geraldine Shaw, band singer
- Artie Miller, band leader
Who wants to eliminate the competition? Who is hiding something? Who will replace whom? And when there’s only room for one Big Band, who will survive?
That’s for you to discover!
The Mystery Unfolds All Week Long
Unlike a traditional mystery dinner that takes place during a single evening, Music Can Be MURDER! keeps guests investigating, laughing and guessing throughout the seven-day voyage.
You’ll attend cocktail parties and dinners with the characters as new scenes unfold and fresh clues emerge. Live musical performances add to the 1940s atmosphere, while a scavenger hunt will send you searching for evidence around the ship.
As the investigation reaches its conclusion, guests will join teams for a final opportunity to question the suspects, examine what they’ve uncovered and attempt to solve the case.
Think you know who did it? Be ready to explain the motive, method and opportunity!
And one especially lucky guest will be selected to step into the story and play a character alongside our professional troupe of actors. It’s an extraordinary opportunity to become part of the mystery, not merely watch it happen.
More Than a Show… It’s an Experience
A mystery cruise brings people together in a completely different way. You’ll share theories over dinner, compare clues with your fellow passengers and form new friendships while trying to determine which characters can, or cannot, be trusted.
Between mystery events, you’ll also have time to enjoy the wonderful amenities, entertainment and destinations offered during a Mexican Riviera cruise aboard the Zuiderdam. It’s the perfect combination of a beautiful getaway and an exclusive interactive theatrical experience.
Whether you are a devoted mystery fan, a lover of live music and theatre, or simply looking for a vacation that offers something beyond the ordinary, Music Can Be MURDER! promises a week filled with surprises.
