The yoga classes were part of larger “Wellness at Sea” program, which offered an incredible variation of workshops, classes, open forums, and offerings on self-care, mindfulness, energy work, and more throughout the week on board. Fans on the ship can expect an array of programs specially curated for the Jam Cruise community. Cruiser 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 will also provide an opportunity for cruisers to engage in daily yoga, zen workshops, and mindfulness classes led by like-minded practitioners while on vacation. While Umphrey’s McGee played on the Pool Deck, Oteil & Friends dug into their set in the Pantheon Theater.

In what I assumed and prepared for and also very quickly cemented as truth, is that you are averaging around 20,000 steps a day. I funkin’ love walking, but also, that’s a lot on my aging and aching hooves, joints, and overall body (I think most of us were in the same … boat…). Anyway, I ran from bow to aft and up and down from the Pool Deck to catch bits and pieces of Little Stranger, Reed Mathis, lespecial, and then made sure to be in attendance for ALL of the Trouble No More set. What I like to describe as the ultimate opportunity and experience for aspiring musicians and curious fans alike, Masters Camp at Sea presents the chance to take classes, watch, and participate in jam sessions with some of the best “masters” in their class. This completely immersive and enriching offering allows people to get up close and personal with top-tier musicians and humans that are there to share their wisdom and guidance, as well as give you a supporting nudge in the direction of your musical dreams.
Jam Cruise Reveals 2023 Ship, Ports & Dates
Favorites (“Gone,” “Bring You Down,” “Downward Facing Dog”) along with gems from his past solo projects (“Everything Here,” “Revolving Door”) and classic covers (“Mama Tried,” “Wildflowers,” “Climb To Safety”). Derhak jumped onstage with cocktail in hand to nail the harmonies on “Gone.” Schnier quipped “Security! The full-band rehearsal lasted approximately 90 minutes and the featured guests would swing by at pre-planned times to work on their parts. Each of the musicians are consummate pros and it was mind-blowing to watch them figure out the game plan. One particularly cool moment was when the core group rehearsed Toto’s “Africa” with Mike Dillon on vibes.

This was the schedule that Saturday afternoons are made for – Karina Rykman rockin’ out pool deck blazing while just a hundred yards or so away Mihali was gracing us with a swoon-worthy solo set on the quaint garden pool stage on the Divina’s bootiful tail end. The cherry on top of parading back and forth throughout the allotted 75 minutes of each artist’s time, was having the absolute ride of my life on the swirling water slide that I, unfortunately, had not yet ridden. Making up for lost slide time was crucial and I’m happy to report I got seven solid slides in, recruiting three newbie sliders including new homie and Karl Denson guitar player Ricky Giordano for one of the LAST slides of the entire festival. But wait, back to the blissfully immaculate sun-drenched afternoon – composed of a solo phoffman set before the undeniably loveable Yacht Rock sunset escarpment.
One was just for the singers to work out the vocal arrangements and the other brought together the core band to run through most of the songs. Pre-book cabin selection for those who reserved a spot will start on Tuesday, May 9. Any remaining cabins will go on sale to the general public on Thursday, May 12 at 1 p.m. The five-night adventure spans February 25 – March 1, 2024 aboard the MSC Divina. In addition to nearly round-the-clock music, comfortable rooms and multiple dining options, the MSC Divina will allow Jam Cruisers to take full advantage of a full-service spa, fitness center, casino, pools, hot tubs, and gorgeous spots throughout the ship to take in the beautiful surroundings at every turn.
Just around sunset, throngs of enthralled, sparkling Jam Cruisers began spreading their shine across all floors and stretches of the Divina. Bubbling cumulus clouds draped behind the pulsing Miami skyline as smiling people took pictures or got their pictures taken (shout out to the epic photo team whose photos will be used throughout this piece), letting the anxious excitement of the reality sink in as the party truly began. Well, technically the pre-party with Karina Rykman was a mini kick-off, but also technically, Jam Cruise doesn’t actually start until the official toast and George Porter Jr.’s opening set on the Pool Deck. As the Divina set sail southeast into the open sea and the Magic City skyline slowly kisses the dark horizon, we waved ‘ta-ta’ to life as we knew it.
Jam Cruise Announces Lineup for 19th Edition
Ivan Neville was in attendance awaiting his turn to rehearse “Ride Like The Wind” and joined Dillon on vibes for the intro to the 1982 hit. PT, SiriusXM’s Jam ON channel will exclusively reveal the lineup for Jam Cruise 12. The floating musical festival will depart from Miami on January 4th aboard the MSC Divinia and is set to return on January 9th. In addition to announcing the lineup, Jam ON will play music from Jam Cruise artists as well as tracks from Jam Cruise’s past. The one absolutely necessary “to-do” checkbox on the last day is to PACK UP YOUR THINGS! That way, when they somewhat aggressively but still politely urge you off the ship bright and early around 8AM…sharp, you are ready to go!

Onboard the ship guests will be able to enjoy programs specially curated for the Jam Cruise community including the Masters Camp at Sea classes which will be led by renowned musicians and other artist-hosted activities to break down the barrier between artist and fan. The trip will also see the return of Brews at Sea and Chefs at Sea showcasing a variety of breweries and guest chefs from around the country. Additionally, there will be daily yoga, zen workshops and mindfulness classes throughout the trip.
While the energy of the Fat “Tuesday” (but really Thursday) Second Line pulsed along the pool deck, bringing straight up New Orleans to the Divina, I strolled my way over to the Atrium to check out the Pickin’ Lounge, presented this time by Ben Weiss (mandolin, Pixie & the Partygrass Boys). Complete with members from The Sweetie Lillies, Pixie & the Partygrass Boys, Kyle Tuttle on banjo, and a lot of other dope artists that I don’t know the names of (sorry), this sweet lil’ jam was pretty much the ideal fusion of funk and bluegrass and I couldn’t have been more delighted. A set I heard was insanely epic but I sadly missed (in lieu of an equally as cool time) was the Honey Island Swamp Band, playing a “Dark Side of the Swamp” set with special guests like Neal Francis and Mike Dillon. However, my 6’o clock hour led me to meet some buds at a spectacle I could not miss, Eric Benny Bloom’s Really Really Tacky Show. People should really let Benny have his own live variety show because everyone in the audience of the three-level atrium (which was THE best setting for this) was absolutely enthralled, laughing, and slightly shocked.

We’ve prepped a list containing the lineups from each of the first 11 cruises as well as shared links to the extensive coverage of Jam Cruise we’ve published since 2004. Our island is blessed with waters deep enough to accommodate large yachts, which means Jamaica is the ideal place for a pleasurable sail. You’ll find that our three main marinas are well-equipped and outfitted with everything you need after a long sail or a short voyage to our shores. Located at sites all around the island, all three offer unique opportunities for remarkable exploration into all that Jamaica has to offer. Find out which one best suits your vessel and your spirit of adventure when planning your trip.
We had all made it to the final frontier…and the official costume theme that had been most excited about….Cowboys vs. Aliens. For the first time ever, I custom-ordered an outfit – a cosmic bodysuit and full-length, fringe-lined gloves of my dreams (shoutout to Coquetry Clothing). Paired with sequin boots, my genuine Texan cowgirl hat, and my honky-tonk sass attitude, I was giddy’d up. But first, I accomplished my goal of attending at least one curated yoga class, where I happened to run into my four dear buds, all from Denver. Our bodies at a point were, even with my somewhat consistent workout regime and relatively healthy diet and lifestyle, wrecked. We all needed endless hours of pampering i.e. massage, hot soaks, steams, stretching, and sleep (soon, young grasshoppers, soon).
