Groove Cruise Miami Reveals 2026 Artist Experiences and Philanthropic Initiatives

GCFam can sign up now to participate in artist-hosted activities, dinners, excursions, and more during Groove Cruise Miami’s 2026 sailing.

Groove Cruise has long been known as one of the wildest parties on the high seas, but there’s so much more than meets the eye during its sailings. The music will be bumping throughout the Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas when Groove Cruise Miami sets sail, but GCFam will be able to do plenty more while on board. This includes developing a deeper connection with artists and the community as a whole through a variety of activities, such as dinners, excursions, and more.

The artist-hosted activities on Groove Cruise Miami are plentiful, with the upcoming sailing boasting 64 total. This includes unique experiences like playing dodgeball with Ayybo or Mario Kart with Linska, making sushi with Blanke, playing soccer with Joshwa, or doing yoga with Amy Wiles. Most of these activities are also free to join, with some being available via donations that benefit the Whet Foundation.

Those who want to dine with their favorite artists can also do so during the artist-hosted dinners. There are 16 opportunities for fans to attend these events in the ship’s specialty restaurants, which will feature artists such as Markus Schulz, DJ Susan, Lilly Palmer, Gene Farris, Trivecta, and Sam Blacky.

Once you’re ashore during the stop in Nassau, you’ll be able to join artists like Blossom to swim with the pigs, go on a rum runners pub crawl with Luci, or dive below the surface with a sail and snorkeling excursion with The Sponges and Last Heroes. These have very limited capacity, so be sure to sign up as soon as possible.

Beyond the artist-led activations are those focused on the community. Official meetups for LGBTQIA+, military members, sober captains, and more will all take place. Additionally, the Groove Games will make a return, alongside the Experience Navigators, who throw events like the Drag Brunch and more.

Those who donate to these activations help with Whet Foundation’s ongoing mission to give back to local communities. This year’s beneficiaries for Groove Cruise Miami are Ranfurly Homes for Children and the Boys & Girls Club of The Bahamas, which provide essential supplies and food to those in need. Captains can sign up to volunteer for Destination Donation through their Whet Travel account, and monetary and requested item donations are also encouraged to help further the cause.
