JC8 sails January 3-8, 2010

Jam Cruise 8 will set sail January 3-8, 2010 on board the beautiful MSC Poesia. Departing Port Everglades in Ft Lauderdale, we will visit the tropical ports of Ocho Rios, Jamaica and George Town, Cayman Islands for 5 glorious days and nights. Once you set foot on the Poesia, the sister ship to the Orchestra of Jam Cruise 7, it’s meaning becomes apparent. Poesia means poetry; much like that which fills our ears and our souls from the stages, the simple elegance of this beautiful ship is the perfect floating oasis. While in Jamaica, zipline through the jungle or hike to Dunn's River Falls. The Caymans are known for crystal blue waters, ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving.
