All aboard, Captains! We’re thrilled to announce that Groove Cruise will return for its 39th sailing from January 21–25, 2027, marking our fourth consecutive year as the world’s largest floating music festival. This time, we’re charting a brand-new course to the stunning Royal Beach Club in Paradise Island and Groove Cruise is set to be one of the first private, chartered trips to this destination! Expect a dynamic beachfront area that will feature the Floating Flamingo, the world’s largest swim-up bar.
Departing from Miami, Florida, Groove Cruise 2027 will take place aboard Royal Caribbean’s newly amplified Allure of the Seas, fresh off an impressive $100 million renovation. Whether you're a seasoned Captain or joining the #GCFAM for the first time, this sailing promises an unforgettable journey filled with music, connection, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
Jason Beukema, Founder and Chief Excitement Officer of Groove Cruise, says:
“I’ve watched Groove Cruise grow from a wild idea into a global family, and it still blows my mind what happens out there on the ocean. This isn’t just a festival. It’s a place where people finally breathe, finally connect, finally remember who they are. You feel the shift the moment you step onboard. GC27 is the next evolution of that magic. We’re stepping into a deeper purpose, a higher frequency, and a new era of the Groove Effect. If you show up with an open heart, this experience changes you. It always has. Sea you at the swim-up bar!”
As always, Groove Cruise 2027 will feature:
Expect the biggest, boldest, and most immersive programming we’ve ever created, designed for ultimate connection.
Our 2027 sailing aboard Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas will be the most updated Groove Cruise ship to date and the largest music cruise of any genre in history.
This is the most advanced ship we've ever sailed.
Groove Cruise 2027 will introduce Captains to an exciting new private-beach experience at the Royal Beach Club on Paradise Island, our all-day destination party. This stunning tropical escape features two expansive white-sand beaches, 10 bars, three dining options, plenty of room to lounge and unwind, and vibrant spaces designed for connection, dancing, and unforgettable daytime energy.
At the heart of the Royal Beach Club is Party Cove, home to the world’s largest swim-up bar and the site of our massive daytime DJ sets. Expect nonstop beats, ocean breezes, and an electric beach atmosphere unlike anything we've done before.
For those looking to recharge under the tropical sun, the island also features dedicated areas to relax and enjoy the tropical scenery at your own pace. Whether you’re there for the beachside partying, lounging, or adventuring with your #GCFAM, this destination delivers the perfect balance of high-energy fun and sandy-toes serenity. It also serves up as the perfect destination for a wedding, if you want to be a part of the #GCFAM newlyweds club.
