Windstar Cruises, the award-winning small ship cruise line, has once again demonstrated its commitment to the arts by partnering with The Latin Recording Academy® as the presenting sponsor of the 2024 Special Awards Presentation during Latin GRAMMY® Week. This exciting collaboration marks a significant milestone in Windstar's dedication to fostering creativity and supporting diverse artistic and cultural expressions.
Celebrating Latin Music Legends
The Special Awards Presentation is a prestigious event that honours legendary artists who have made immeasurable contributions to Latin music. The awards include the Lifetime Achievement Award, recognising performers who have created outstanding artistic significance within the Latin music community, and the Trustees Award, presented to individuals who have significantly contributed to Latin music beyond performance.
During the groundbreaking ceremony, Janet Bava, Windstar Cruises' Chief Commercial Officer, shared her enthusiasm for the partnership. "With our newer headquarters in Miami, as well as a talented workforce that includes many Latino professionals in the cruise industry, we felt Windstar could take a more proactive approach to support Latin music and these musical legends," Bava stated. "We are choosing to support creators and artists who pioneered the path for success of future artists, and much like many of our seasoned cruisers at Windstar, they've left an indelible mark on their respective fields."
A Deep Commitment to the Arts
Windstar Cruises has a long history of supporting the arts through various partnerships. Previous collaborations include the James Beard Foundation in culinary arts and Fountainhead in visual arts. These partnerships highlight Windstar's ongoing dedication to enhancing the cultural experiences of their guests and supporting creative communities.
"This partnership is especially timely with September and October being National Hispanic Heritage Month," Bava added. "Through our multiple partnerships, Windstar will shine a spotlight on the vital role that music, visual art, and culinary traditions play in enriching the human experience, while also creating opportunities for emerging and established artists to share their talents with the world."
Enhancing the Latin GRAMMY® Experience
The 2024 Special Awards Presentation will take place on November 10 and will be a highlight of Latin GRAMMY® Week. As the presenting sponsor, Windstar Cruises will ensure that the event receives the recognition and prestige it deserves, allowing guests to enjoy exclusive insights and performances from some of the most influential figures in Latin music.
Windstar's role as a sponsor also enhances the cruise line's onboard experience, providing guests with culturally rich events and special programming that celebrate Latin heritage and artistry. This collaboration ensures that Windstar Cruises continues to offer unique and memorable experiences that go beyond traditional cruise offerings.
