One of the most unforgettable parts of Groove Cruise is the chance to connect with artists beyond the stage. For Groove Cruise Miami 2026, the lineup isn’t just stacked with world-class performances, it’s also filled with artist-hosted experiences that bring fans and DJs together in creative, fun, and personal ways.

When it comes to saying “I do,” more couples are moving beyond traditional ballrooms and banquet halls. They want weddings that feel unique, adventurous, and unforgettable, the kind of celebration that lasts longer than one evening. That’s why cruise weddings are growing in popularity.

Drum & Bass (D&B) isn’t just music, it’s movement! Born from the UK’s jungle and breakbeat underground, the genre has grown into a global force, blending rapid-fire breakbeats (160–180 BPM) with deep sub-bass, soaring melodies, and energy that grips both body and soul.

Groove Cruise isn’t just about incredible lineups, non-stop music and epic themes! Building a true festival community at sea is our main priority.

Every festival has its bright lights, but Groove Cruise also embraces the shadows. Abyss is the ship’s heartbeat for underground dance music: hypnotic techno, pulsing minimal grooves, and cinematic melodic sounds.

For Groove Cruise Captains, the ship is more than just a venue. It’s a floating playground with space for epic stage productions, intimate moments, and everything in between. Whether you’re here for nonstop parties or quiet escapes, Wonder of the Seas has it all.

Melodic bass has become one of the most captivating movements in modern electronic music. The genre blends the heavy-hitting energy of dubstep with cinematic melodies, soaring vocals, and emotional soundscapes that tug at the heart.

On Groove Cruise, every captain (that’s you!) is part of what makes this festival cruise feel so special. For over 20 years, our community has thrived because of something deeper than just the music.

House music is more than just a genre, it’s a feeling! Born in Chicago warehouses in the 1980s, house has evolved into a global phenomenon that spans countless subgenres, from deep and soulful grooves to high-energy tech house and festival-ready anthems. What unites them all is a sense of community, connection, and pure rhythm-driven joy.

For years, the Groove Cruise DJ Contest has discovered rising talent and launched careers on a platform unlike any other onboard the world’s largest music cruise.

Few genres capture the spirit of escape and connection quite like trance music. With its euphoric melodies, driving basslines, and hypnotic builds, trance has been soundtracking dance floors around the world for decades.

You thought Groove Cruise was just EDM? Think again! As we continue to evolve, so does our music programming, embracing multiple genres that define nostalgia and subculture, and our Taking Back Emo brand is a perfect example.

Strap in, sparkle up, and kiss predictability goodbye.
