DE LA SOUL.
BIG DADDY KANE.

That is just the beginning. Additional artists are still scheduled to be announced.

👑 ERYKAH BADU CELEBRATES 30 YEARS OF BADUIZM

Before the ship even leaves Miami, Erykah Badu will take the stage for a special docked performance celebrating the 30th anniversary of her landmark debut album, Baduizm.

For fans who came of age during the rise of neo-soul, this is more than an opening concert. It is a celebration of one of the albums that helped define an entire era of music.

30 YEARS OF BADUIZM.
ONE STAGE.
ONE VERY SPECIAL NIGHT IN MIAMI.

🎤 AND THEN BOYZ II MEN TAKES THE STAGE

One of the most recognizable vocal groups in music history, Boyz II Men joins the inaugural Soul on the Sea lineup.

Add the powerhouse vocals of SWV, the emotional intensity of Keyshia Cole, the soul of October London, the legendary hip-hop of De La Soul, Big Daddy Kane and the artistry of Raheem DeVaughn...

THIS IS NOT A ONE-GENRE MUSIC CRUISE.

It's a celebration of the music that has shaped generations.

🚢 THIS IS A MUSIC CRUISE — NOT JUST A CRUISE

The idea behind Soul on the Sea is simple: bring legendary artists and passionate music fans together for an immersive experience at sea.

You're not simply traveling to the Caribbean and catching a show. The music is the heart of the entire voyage.

Expect live performances, special events, artist experiences, collaborations and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the ship alongside other people who love this music as much as you do.

🌴 THE CARIBBEAN ITINERARY

🌆 APRIL 12 — MIAMI

The inaugural adventure begins in Miami aboard Norwegian Joy.

And remember — the Erykah Badu dockside celebration is part of the opening experience before the ship sails.

🌊 APRIL 13 — AT SEA

A full day at sea. Enjoy Norwegian Joy and get ready for more live music, events and experiences.

🇲🇽 APRIL 14 — COZUMEL, MEXICO

Cozumel brings beautiful Caribbean waters, snorkeling, diving, excursions and the opportunity to explore the island before getting back aboard.

🌊 APRIL 15 — AT SEA

Another full day aboard Norwegian Joy with more time for the Soul on the Sea experience.

🏝️ APRIL 16 — GREAT STIRRUP CAY, BAHAMAS

Spend the day in paradise on Norwegian's private island destination. Relax on the beach, enjoy the water, book an excursion or simply soak up the final full day of the cruise.

🚢 APRIL 17 — MIAMI

The inaugural Soul on the Sea Cruise returns to Miami, bringing five unforgettable nights to a close.

🎵 WHAT KIND OF MUSIC WILL YOU HEAR?

Soul on the Sea is built around the legacy and evolution of R&B and hip-hop, bringing together artists from different generations and musical eras.

That means soulful vocals, legendary harmonies, classic hip-hop, modern R&B and artists whose music has helped shape the culture.

One night could have you singing along with Boyz II Men. Another could take you back to the golden age of hip-hop with De La Soul or Big Daddy Kane. Then you could be experiencing the neo-soul legacy of Erykah Badu.

THIS SHIP IS GOING TO HAVE A SOUNDTRACK.

🍽️ LIFE ABOARD NORWEGIAN JOY

When you're not watching performances, Norwegian Joy gives you plenty of ways to enjoy the cruise itself.

• 🍽️ Complimentary dining options
• 🏊 Pools & whirlpools
• 💪 Fitness center
• 🎭 Cruise entertainment
• 🎰 Casino
• 🛍️ Duty-free shopping
• 🌅 Ocean-view lounges and outdoor spaces

So even between performances, there is plenty happening aboard ship.

🏝️ TWO CARIBBEAN STOPS

🇲🇽 COZUMEL

Cozumel is known for its incredible snorkeling and diving, beautiful Caribbean waters and the welcoming atmosphere of San Miguel.

🇧🇸 GREAT STIRRUP CAY

Relax on the sand, snorkel, enjoy a cabana, try an excursion or simply enjoy your final day in the Bahamas before heading back toward Miami.

🔥 WHY THE INAUGURAL CRUISE COULD BE SPECIAL

There is something different about being there for the first sailing of a brand-new music cruise.

There is no previous edition to compare it to. No "old Soul on the Sea." No second sailing yet.

This is the inaugural voyage. The first chapter. The cruise that starts it all.

And the organizers have chosen an impressive way to begin: Erykah Badu celebrating 30 years of Baduizm, Boyz II Men, SWV, Keyshia Cole, De La Soul, Big Daddy Kane, Raheem DeVaughn and October London.

🌊 IMAGINE THIS...

You're in Miami.

Erykah Badu is celebrating 30 years of Baduizm.

Then you walk aboard Norwegian Joy.

The skyline disappears.

The Caribbean opens up.

And the music keeps going.

THAT'S SOUL ON THE SEA.
