JoCo Cruise 2019 is a whole cruise ship (Holland America's ms Oosterdam) full of music, comedy, and general nerdery, departing from Fort Lauderdale, FL for a 7-night adventure with stops in the Bahamas, Tortola and San Juan.
The 2019 cruise will depart from Fort Lauderdale, FL on Saturday, March 9th and return on Saturday, March 16th, with ports of call in the Bahamas (Half Moon Cay), Tortola, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Performers include Jonathan Coulton, Paul and Storm, and friends from across the music, comedy, gaming, and writing worlds.
Yes, even as we lie in a joyful stupor recalling our time together on JoCo Cruise 2018, we are already hard at work making 2019 the even MORE best ever. We’ve made this big announcement in a few places, but just in case you missed it: They Might Be Giants will be joining JoCo Cruise 2019!

We cannot wait to see all our 2018 Sea Monkeys as we sail across the wine dark sea in search of adventure, music, comedy, and 24/7 tabletop gaming. And we’re gonna find them. Oh yes…we will find them.
If you need your JoCo Cruise fix but can’t join us this year, book JoCo Cruise 2019 now now for the best discounts.

Many of our more affordable cabins have sold out already. But thanks to the magic (well, science) of information technology and inventory forecasting, we’re now able to offer GUARANTEE CABINS for Interior, Ocean-view and Verandah cabin types! Full details can be found in our FAQ, but the headline is: get a cabin on JoCo 2018 for our lowest prices since launch, now!
We asked our event organizer friends Team Pandy to come up with a social event for Sea Monkeys the night before we sail, to help kick things off in the proper fashion—a sort of “pre-cruise shore excursion,” as it were. They’ve put together the Sea Monkey Send-Off, happening Saturday, Feb. 17th, 6 pm – 9 pm at the San Diego Comic Art Gallery, in the city’s Liberty Station area. more…

Performers and Featured Guests
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Half Moon Cay
San Juan
Tortola
Fort Lauderdale, FL
(Day 1 – Sat. Mar. 6)
Half Moon Cay
Half Moon Cay is Holland America’s private island in the Caribbean, and an all-time favorite beach and relaxation spot for JoCo Cruise. Sun, fun, pristine white sand beaches, plus trails to wander and (of course) food and beverages. It’s also a protected nature preserve, giving you as close to the Castaway experience as you can get without actually being stranded there.
San Juan
San Juan was one of JoCo Cruise’s most popular port stops ever. Was it because of the city and people’s rich history and culture? Maybe. Was it the special excursion to Arecibo Observatory? Perhaps.
For 2019 you’ll still have an opportunity to enjoy everything that San Juan and its environs have to offer; later that day and evening we’ll be holding our annual Land Concert there. [details forthcoming]
Tortola
If dreams had dreams, they would dream about Tortola. We sure as heck are!
