Wait, what is the JoCo Cruise?
We are the entertainment destination for people to explore and embrace their passions, hobbies, selves, and friendships—new and old.
JoCo Cruise is a week-long event where every day at sea is filled with musical performances, expert panels, and comedy showcases that have the boat rocking and roaring with laughter. Tabletop and electronic gaming, crafting activities, and self-produced guest-run programming offer a diverse offering that promises something for everyone.
Families, friends, solo adventurer—literally everyone is welcome.

To a place where you’ll cultivate
connections that transcend the sea
Foster friendships with fascinating, creative, and really awesome people during the best week of your year.



We Celebrate Differences
With more hours of scheduled programming than there are hours in the week, JoCo cruise offers something for every enthusiasm, interest and identity. Readers, gamers, crafters, music lovers, and cosplayers; families, groups of friends, and solo travelers; straight, lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer, and more; the only rule is everyone is welcome.

In our latest survey, we asked the 2025 JoCo Cruisers how social they would say they are! Would you say you`re more social or less social? An introvert, extrovert or the secret third thing?

This week we`re asking you to be the best (in terms of pants) that you can be! 👖
