Jam Cruise 1 sailed aboard the Regal Empress

Ft. Lauderdale, FL • Nassau, Bahamas • Key West, FL


On Tuesday January 6th, 2004, Jam Cruise set sail on an adventure of a lifetime. We were the world's first and only fully chartered 4 night jamband music festival at sea, featured the brightest talent in the world of improvisational music, brought together for the sole purpose of creating an atmosphere of good vibes, incredible music and great fun among friends.

The cruise, which departed from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, was an intimate gathering of over 12 of the hottest bands and DJ's in the music scene today and their dedicated fans who travelled the world over to see them. We found those from Alaska and Australia on board. Jam Cruise epic concerts and marathon shows took place in multiple venues both indoors and under the stars from high noon to sunrise. Aboard the Imperial Majesty Regal Empress, this one of a kind music festival at sea held only 900 passengers and together, we made history.
