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.


"Do more of what makes you happy" is great advice! What`s one thing you did this week that made you happy?

We`re back with another chart for you chart lovers! One of the things we were fascinated by in our post-cruise survey was the differences between returning cruisers and new cruisers. One of the interesting differences: how folks got their daily info!

Have you ever watched the Virtual Petting Zoo on the JoCo Cruise? (You can find this year`s on our Youtube if you`re wondering what that is!)
