Where in the world is Matt Johnson?

Upcoming ship dates for Matt!

 

From the June 16th Instagram post by Matt Johnson:

I’ve been getting a lot of messages from @celebritycruises cruise guests wanting to know if I have my 2026 schedule yet. I am happy to announce that it’s now in and confirmed. See the image for my dates and ships for 2026 and take a screenshot of it. The November/December 2026 ships are not yet confirmed. As soon as I get those I will post. I continue to be on the Celebrity Beyond for the rest of 2025. Search earlier in my socials for those dates.

Based in Vancouver, Matt Johnson performs around the world on cruise ships, captivating international audiences with his breathtaking magic and escape acts. What inspires me most about Matt is his relentless pursuit of pushing magic and escapes to their physical limits. His grand-scale illusions set him apart, leaving a lasting impression on audiences worldwide.
