JAM CRUISE SETS SAILS
Jam Cruise 2025 set sail from Miami, Florida on February 14, charting a six-day journey to Cozumel, Mexico, and Belize. Among the most anticipated acts on this year’s lineup was Tank and the Bangas. From their viral NPR Tiny Desk performance to earning Grammy recognition, the New Orleans band has built a reputation that had fans eager to catch them up close—multiple times—aboard the floating festival.
Unlike any other music event, Jam Cruise offers a truly immersive experience. Artists don’t just perform throughout the voyage—they live on the ship right alongside fans. That means you might catch a set in the afternoon and then bump into your favorite musician at breakfast the next morning. It’s a rare chance to share space, music, and moments with artists in a way no land-based festival can offer.
