Jam Cruise 17 Sets the Jam World on Fire with Its Stacked Lineup Announcement

KAABLAAM!!!!! That’s the sound of jam fans’ heads exploding across the universe after Jam Cruise 17 dropped its stacked lineup today. Not only did the legendary music cruise, scheduled from January 15-21 in 2019, blow minds when it gave fans six nights to party instead of its normal five, but its much anticipated lineup is pure fire. I mean, highly combustible, flaming hot, do not touch this or risk third-degree burns kind of fire.

They don’t call it Jam Cruise for nothin’. With heavy emphasis on the jam part, a number of super groups will be on board as well. Eric Krasno makes a long awaited return to the ship with The Cleaners, which will also include Duane Trucks, Marcus King, Kevin Scott, and Deshawn Alexander. New Orleans super group Dragon Smoke, with Ivan Neville, Robert Mercurio, Eric Lindell, and Stanton Moore will be setting stages afire too. And jam goddess, trumpeter, singer, and composer, Jennifer Hartswick will be fronting Super Jam, a yearly occurrence on the ship that is not to be missed.

Those of us who sail regularly on Jam Cruise leave the boat each year saying to ourselves “They could not possibly top this!” Well, they just did. An intense shout-out goes to Cloud 9 Adventures founder Mark Brown, band whisperer and iconic face of Jam Cruise Annabel Lukins, and their team for knocking this out of the park.

The cruise on the Norwegian Jade, which leaves from Miami with stops in Belize City, Belize; Cozumel; and Progreso, Mexico is sure to be a sell-out. So if you’re thinking of going, don’t waffle. Book the moment cabins go on sale to the public on May 16 or risk being shut out. For more information on Jam Cruise and how to book, click on the links below.
