The 2023 event returns to the MSC Divina, a luxurious cruise ship that maintains intimacy and innovation.
Fans can expect an array of onboard programs specially curated for the Jam Cruise community. Unique offerings such as Masters Camp at Sea classes led by renowned musicians and other artist-hosted activities break down the barrier between artist and fan. Cruise favorites Brews at Sea and Chefs at Sea will return, showcasing a variety of breweries and guest chefs from around the country. Wellness at Sea provides an opportunity for cruisers to engage in daily yoga, zen workshops, and mindfulness classes led by like-minded practitioners while on vacation.
Jam Cruise passengers can explore eight unique stages as organizers transform the cruise ship into the ultimate music venue. Featuring the top acts in the live music scene performing on the Pool Deck Main Stage, the stunning 1500-seat Pantheon Theater, cherished late-night Black and White Jam Room, collaborative Jazz Lounge, and crystal Atrium, with more to explore—this expansive yet intimate setting feels like home. In addition to nearly round-the-clock music, comfortable staterooms (including those in the ultra-luxe Yacht Club) and multiple dining options, the MSC Divina offers a variety of attractions and amenities for fans to enjoy. Jam Cruisers can take advantage of a full service spa, fitness center, impressive casino, pools, hot tubs, and gorgeous spots throughout the ship to take in the beautiful surroundings at every turn.
Masters Camp at Sea passes are available as an add-on for fans who wish to participate in an immersive learning program while onboard. Cruise passengers can pursue their own musical mastery through discussions, jam sessions, and hands-on workshops with legendary musicians over the six nights.
Charitable organization Positive Legacy remains an integral part of Jam Cruise, integrating music and service into the experience. Positive Legacy initiatives work to positively impact the environment, offset the carbon footprint of traveling, and support the local communities who welcome Jam Cruise to their shores. With an annual Day of Service while in port and onboard activities, Positive Legacy is able to raise funds to further their charity efforts in the surrounding areas.
