We are EXCITED to FINALLY share with you this cinematic Beauty 💙💙💙
Thank you #GCFAM for joining us on our sailing to CABO after 6 years, and 4 years since we we're in the West Coast! 
The energy was amazing! The memories will last us FOREVER!
We couldn't of done this without you joining us for this unforgettable Experience and we hope to SEA you again soon on another sailing!

In addition, groove Cruise has partnered with When The Music Stops to host community wellness events with renewed focus this year.

At its core, Groove Cruise’sCruise’s mission statement is “to create world-class festival experiences for lovers of dance music as a way to connect and celebrate life on the open ocean.”

Considering the robust musical offerings, enchanting tropical settings, and world-class standard of community and hospitality Groove Cruise is known for, it’s hard to imagine Groove Cruise Miami missing that admittedly lofty mission statement.
