A full ten years after our initial 2011 sailing, we’re looking forward to our eleventh voyage in 2021! Right now we’re going full steam on JoCo Cruise 2020, adding new guests and managing a staggering array of details to make it better than ever. So at this moment we can only say the dates for 2021 and confirm we’ll be sailing out of Fort Lauderdale for a Caribbean cruise. Destinations, guests, scheduled events and other details will come into focus over the next 14 months – and we look forward to sharing them with all of you!

2021 DESTINATIONS
DAY 1
FORT LAUDERDALE
We depart on our adventure!
DAY 2
AT SEA
Enjoy the plethora of activities on board (panels, gaming, crafting, and dozens of other options), or just chill by the pool or in your stateroom. Your day is yours to do as you please; we’re not the boss of you!
DAY 3
ST. CROIX
Beautiful St. Croix awaits us with its beaches and history (Alexander Hamilton!) close at hand. Hitch an excursion, enjoy a laid-back day on the beach, or explore Fort Frederik.
DAY 4
AT SEA
Once again enjoy the plethora of activities on board (panels, gaming, crafting, and dozens of other options), or just chill by the pool or in your stateroom. Your day is yours to do as you please; we’re still not the boss of you!
DAY 5
NASSAU
The quaint yet bustling capital city of the Bahamas. Enjoy shopping in the historic town, have a fun beach day on Paradise Island, or trace the footsteps of legendary pirate Edward Teach a.k.a. Blackbeard. (Which is easy to do, because he tracked sand around EVERYWHERE.)
DAY 6
AT SEA SOME MORE
Continue to enjoy the plethora of activities on board (panels, gaming, crafting, and dozens of other options), or just chill by the pool or in your stateroom. Your day is yours to do as you please; it’s abundantly clear by now that we’re not the boss of you!DAY 7
HALF MOON CAY
Holland America’s private island in the Caribbean. It’s an all-time favorite beach and relaxation spot for JoCo Cruise that’s also a protected nature preserve; it’s as close to the Castaway experience as you can get! (At least, while still having a bar, beach chairs and a ship to leave on.)
DAY 8
FORT LAUDERDALE
We return to port
