| Festival Description | Held annually in January, Jam Cruise is a music festival on a cruise ship. It features artists of the jam band genre playing at multiple venues aboard the vessel. While some aspects of the journey are typical of all cruise lines (ports of call with shore excursions, abundant dining opportunities), other features are unique to the Jam Cruise experience. Jam Cruise has been a staple among music lovers all over the country and from around the world who desire a big festival experience in an intimate setting with the creature comforts of home. Nothing says comfort like a luxurious cruise ship and Jam Cruise has been fortunate to enjoy a great partnership with MSC Cruises, an upscale Italian cruise line that has hosted Jam Cruise for seven of its past ten sailings. The music is practically continuous throughout the 5-day cruise, and the pleasure of a bar, bed or hot shower is just steps away from a half dozen venues. With two stops in the Caribbean, access to the artists, and a variety of workshops and activities, Jam Cruise is truly a floating musical paradise. |
