Groove Cruise Miami

The festival at sea departs from Miami on January 24, sailing to The Bahamas for a beach part on Great Stirrup Cay and returning to U.S shores on January 28. The event, produced by Whet Travel, marks the Groove Cruise’s 20th anniversary.

“I can’t believe it’s been 20 years,” Groove Cruise founder Jason Beukema tells Billboard. “When I first had the idea of Groove Cruise as a 25-year-old kid from Michigan with no money, not a single DJ contact, and not knowing anyone in the cruise industry, I never thought that two decades later I would be booking international superstars like Tiësto on a near billion dollar cruise ship.”

“Our first sailing,” he continues, “was a 125 person cruise in 2004, and it’s been incredible to witness lifelong friendships flourish out of that initial cruise and to hear how it changed people’s lives. It’s been humbling to watch the community and experience it evolve into the world class event it is today.”

While Groove Cruise helped innovate the festival cruise model two decades ago, they’ve since become a hugely popular format for live music consumption. In the dance world, HARD has hosted Holy Ship since 2021, while earlier this year Insomniac Events announced the maiden voyage of their EDSea cruise happening in November.

Groove Cruise Miami reveals highly-anticipated lineup for 2023 sailing

Posted by Miami Guide Staff | Sep 15, 2022

Groove Cruise Miami reveals highly-anticipated lineup for 2023 sailing

Known as the world’s largest floating dance music festival,  Whet Travel ’s flagship event  Groove Cruise  will make a triumphant return for its 35th sailing from  Miami, Florida  to a private island in  Labadee, Haiti  aboard the state-of-the-art and award-winning  Celebrity Summit .

For nearly two decades,  Whet Travel  has been the leader in independent music cruise experiences with bespoke itineraries and unparalleled curated lineups. From  Thursday, January 19 to Monday, January 23, 2023 , dance music lovers from around the world will revel in the immersive experience that  Groove Cruise  has become known for while enjoying breathtaking views, an extensive list of programming, and some of the top acts in electronic music.

Groove Cruise Miami  will offer attendees, affectionately known as “ Captains ”, a chance to revel in 96 hours of nonstop music from more than 50 artists from around the world. Returning  Groove Cruise  headliners include Swiss-South African deep house connoisseur  Nora En Pure  and German trance music legend  Markus Schulz .  Groove Cruise  also welcomes the mysterious  Claptone   to make his debut headlining performance as well as  BITE THIS  label head   Jauz  who will be performing a special ‘ Off The Deep End ’ set.

Groove Cruise ’s genre-abolishing lineup serves to offer a little something for everyone. Additional support will come from the likes of  BIJOU ,  Blastoyz ,  Cloonee ,  Gioli & Assia ,  Habstrakt ,  Kaivon ,  Matroda , and  William Black . All of these acts will be making their  Groove Cruise  debut and offer something new for dedicated fans.  Ship Wrek  will also return to  Groove Cruise  as direct support for the Miami sailing.

Groove Cruise  prides itself on inclusive bookings that strive to feature more female acts. The upcoming Miami sailing will feature unrivaled performances from  Nora En Pure ,  Gioli & Assia ,  Casmalia ,  Nostalgix ,  Speaker Honey , and more.

Aboard the newly-renovated  Celebrity Summit  cruise ship, fans can enjoy an abundance of amenities, luxury dining options, curated theme parties, artist-hosted activities, and more. The fleet underwent nearly $500 million in luxurious upgrades and earned  Travel Weekly ’s Magellan Gold Awards for The Spa by Canyon Ranch and Penthouse Suite Design. The transformed  Celebrity Summit  boasts a state-of-the-art wellness spa, fitness center, onboard shopping, and more. The recent renovations also make the  Celebrity Summit  one of the first cruise ships powered by environmentally-friendly gas turbines.

Touching down at the  Labadee  private paradise in Haiti,  Groove Cruise  ‘Captains’ will be able to experience once-in-a-lifetime activities such as the world’s largest zip line, Labadee’s  Dragon’s Tail  roller coaster, boat and island tours, private cabanas, jet skis and kayaks, and more. In addition to the ship’s amenities, this stop in Labadee will offer attendees an unforgettable adventure in one of the most picturesque settings the world has to offer.

Due to recent changes, vaccinated guests will no longer be required to take a COVID-19 test before boarding the cruise. Non-vaccinated guests will be required to present a negative COVID-19 test taken within the previous three days. During the height of Omicron in January 2022,  Groove Cruise Orlando  reported an impressive  ZERO  cases onboard for their first event back following the pandemic due to their rigorous safety protocols.

Groove Cruise Miami 2023  promises to be another exciting chapter in Groove Cruise’s nearly 20-year history. With an award-winning fleet, an unparalleled lineup, and an extensive list of programming,  Groove Cruise  offers a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience for attendees and dance music lovers alike.
