Jamrock Productions presents the 3rd Annual Welcome To Jamrock Reggae Cruise, coming later this year in November. Departing from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and heading to Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, Jamaica, the cruise on the Royal Caribbean will set sail on November 14th and return on November 19th. The cruise is spear-head by Grammy-winning artist Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley.
A partial lineup has already been announced and features the likes of Damian (himself) and brother Stephen “Ragga” Marley, Toots & The Maytals, Steel Pulse, Sean Paul, Tarrus Riley, Junior Reid, Collie Buddz, J Boog and more.
“This is a true example of one love, which my father sings about.”
This is an event not to be missed! Forbes Magazine was able to capture the Jr. Gong’s intent on helping to create the Jamrock Cruise, in which the youngest of Bob Marley’s son stated:
This is a true example of one love, which my father sings about. There are different races, different religions, different cultures, but they have a common love for reggae culture. There’s a common thread through everyone on the boat.
Both of the previous cruises allegedly had passengers from around 42 countries come together for their love of reggae music and the culture from where it emerged.
Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley also announced he has acquired Tidal, the first artist-owned streaming service in the world. Tidal will once again join the cruise this year to help produce and release exclusive content to its subscribers.
