Lucky No. 13 For Jam Cruise

The ocean going-experience featuring your favorite jam bands steams out of Port Miami, Fla., with Pretty Lights, Umphrey’s McGee, Galactic, The Word, G. Love & Special Sauce and other acts known for unpredictable, spur-of-the-moment performances.

Set for Jan. 6-11, on the Sophia Loren-inspired MSC Divina, Jam Cruise 13 also hosts Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires, Snarky Puppy, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Break Science, The London Souls, Everyone Orchestra and others. It all adds up to more than 25 bands with the ship stopping at fine ports of call such as Roatán, Honduras, and Costa Maya, Mexico.

With 12 Jam Cruises already under their belts, organizers are promising the next trip will include such fan-favorite collaborative moments such as the Jam Room and Piano Sets. Add in activities such as Music Masters Camp At Sea, autograph signings, Brews At Sea, panel discussions, workshops, Yoga At Sea and other artist-hosted experiences and you’ll have bragging rights to make your friends envious for the rest of the year.
