International Music Phenomenon Pub Choir to Perform on Holland America Line in January 2024

The rollicking, interactive choir brings its harmonies to Noordam during the 14-day Australia and New Zealand Voyage on January 27

International music phenomenon Pub Choir will join Holland America Line’s award-winning live entertainment offerings with lively and participatory performances on Noordam’s January 27 Australia and New Zealand cruise sailing Auckland to Sydney.

Hailing from Australia, the interactive choir will unite Holland America Line guests for several memorable evenings of fun and song in Noordam’s Rolling Stone Lounge. Pub Choir leader Astrid Jorgensen, a former music teacher turned world-renowned music director, will divide the crowd into three groups to harmonize performances of popular tunes. Prior music experience is not a prerequisite as Pub Choir, described as the world’s funniest, easiest music lesson, transforms a regular audience into an incredible choir during their three performances during the 14-Day Australia and New Zealand voyage.

“Pub Choir is one more highlight for Holland America Line’s award-winning live music performances. Each evening our guests gather in the dynamic piano bar Billboard Onboard where the audience regularly erupts in song with the performers,” said Ryan Taibel, Vice President Sales and Partnerships for Holland America in Australia. “With Pub Choir, our guests enjoy a similar experience on a larger scale with directed singing and infectious camaraderie.”

About Pub Choir

A recent recipient of a Medal of the Order from Australia, Jorgensen founded Pub Choir in Brisbane, Australia in 2017. In 2020, Pub Choir transformed into Couch Choir which helped connect people during pandemic lockdowns. Pub Choir has since returned to in-person performances and has been applauded by musical celebrities Kate Bush, Mariah Carey and Sir Barry Gibb. Pub Choir’s upcoming international tour visits the U.S. and UK through September 2023.

“I can't wait to hit the high seas with some ‘High Cs’ on Holland America Line,” said Jorgensen. “It's ok if your singing voice is rusty, just bring your mouth to the show and I'll help with the rest!”
