Groove Cruise Sets Sail For Uncharted Waters: Announces Largest Music Cruise In History For 37th Sailing In 2025

In a thrilling announcement, Groove Cruise, the leading nautical festival brand, has declared its colossal 37th sailing in 2025. Celebrating its 21st year on the high seas, Groove Cruise will embark on a transformative journey from Miami to the paradisiacal Labadee, Haiti, from Thursday, January 23 to Monday, January 27, 2025. What sets this sailing apart is its host vessel, the magnificent Allure of the Seas, marking the largest music cruise in history.

A Floating Dance Music Festival Like No Other

For over two decades, Groove Cruise has held the esteemed title of the world's “premier floating dance music festival.” From its humble beginnings in 2004, it has evolved into the largest music cruise event globally, known for fostering creative self-expression and inclusive environments. The ethos revolves around individuality, community, and a shared passion for adventure.

Setting Sail On Allure Of The Seas

Departing from Miami on January 23, 2025, Groove Cruise promises a whirlwind of 96 hours of nonstop music aboard the award-winning Allure of the Seas. This oceanic adventure will feature 11 stages with world-class production, globally renowned artists, daily themes, artist-hosted activities, beachside destination parties, mental health panels, and more.

Allure of the Seas, part of the Oasis Class of cruise ships, is not just a vessel but a floating entertainment wonderland. Awarded Best Large Cruise Ship, Best For Entertainment, and Best Individual Cruise Ship, it boasts a length of over 1,187 ft, 18 total decks, and a capacity exceeding 6,780 passengers. With an original cost of $1.2 billion, it's the epitome of luxury on the high seas.

Luxury And Adventure Aboard Allure Of The Seas

Allure of the Seas offers a plethora of luxurious accommodations and activities, from a full-service spa to aqua parks with thrilling water slides and a FlowRider surf simulator. The ship's seven unique “neighborhoods” provide diverse experiences, including a central park area with real trees, a zip line 10 decks above the boardwalk, an ice skating rink, and a variety of dining options from casual to fine dining.

Labadee: A Return To Paradise

After Groove Cruise Miami 2023's successful sailing to Labadee, the 2025 edition returns to this breathtaking Royal Caribbean private destination on Haiti's northern coast. Voted as the favorite destination by previous Captains, Labadee offers coral reefs, pristine sands, and crystal blue waters, creating the perfect setting for beach parties and soul-nourishing activities.

Giving Back Beyond The Beats

Groove Cruise isn't just about unforgettable parties; it also operates the Whet Foundation, a non-profit 501c3 organization. Founded by Jason Beukema, the foundation aims to impact communities visited by Whet Travel cruises by providing clothing, food, school donations, beach cleanups, painting and art programs, and facility repair and improvement costs.
