FRIENDSHIP Cruise Moves to January and Upgrades Ship for 2024 Festival

Get ready to set sail for five nights as the FRIENDSHIP Cruise moves to January 2024 for a world-class music cruise experience.

Due to popular demand, the FRIENDSHIP Cruise moves its next sailing to take place aboard the Norwegian Joy on the new dates of January 6^th to 11^th, 2024. The five-night voyage will still take shippers from Miami to the private island of Harvest Caye—including now a full overnight stay–and Belize.

With its original announcement earlier this year, the 2024 sailing sold out during pre-booking even faster than 2023 did. Due to such popular demand, FRIENDSHIP is excited to have secured a larger vessel for even bigger and better plans for fans.

Curated and produced by Gary Richards, FRIENDSHIP will be celebrating its fourth run aboard the newly refurbished Breakaway Plus Class ship Norwegian Joy. This 3000+ capacity vessel features a wide variety of attractions including a two-level racetrack, laser tag, an aqua park, and Spice H2O deck with full production, ready for the optimum sunrise sermon DJ set.

Doubling in size, the Norwegian Joy outing will be following the 2023 sailing aboard the Norwegian Pearl. The last ship sold-out in record time despite the line-up being a mystery for guests until they boarded the ship. Fans, known as FRIENDSHIPPERS, were surprised by sets from Boys Noize, Armand Van Helden, Dr. Fresch, Skream, and more. The line-up for 2024’s FRIENDSHIP – Graduating Class is expected to be announced soon.

If you are planning on booking, there is a two-phase process, the pre-book and cabin selection. The pre-book is where you secure a coveted Cabin Lead Token which acts as the $250 deposit and secures your place in line for Cabin Selection. The Cabin Selection allows you to take the Cabin Lead Token and select your cabin of choice, allowing you to also add your mates to the reservation.

There are different payment options on their website under the Booking Info tab that helps go into further detail. Right now, Cabin Selection has been opened and FRIENDSHIPPERS can select where they want to stay.
