“Having these three inspiring SuperSoul 100 thought leaders join the Share the Adventure cruise along with Oprah Winfrey and editors from O, The Oprah Magazine is an incredible and rare opportunity for our guests to be energized to live life to the fullest by a diverse group of visionaries,” said Orlando Ashford, president, Holland America Line. “This is going to be an exciting and powerful cruise experience, further amplified by the majestic beauty of Alaska, and we’re honored to have India.Arie, Angela and Glennon join the list of very special guests aboard Eurodam’s July 15 cruise.”

Grammy Award-Winner Singer/Songwriter India.Arie

With her signature brand of acoustic music and velvety alto, India.Arie will bring song and storytelling to life. The four-time Grammy Award-winning artist is a true believer in the power of words and music to spread love, healing, peace and joy. She has been bringing light to audiences worldwide since her 2001 debut, Acoustic Soul, and its anthem of self-love, “Video.”

Praised for its “sheer artfulness” by Rolling Stone magazine, her fifth studio album, 2013’s Songversation, has brought a spiritual focus to the forefront of Arie’s music making. The performances surrounding its release, including a SuperSoul Session with Oprah Winfrey, were imagined as part meditation, part prayer, part fellowship and part action.
