There's nothing quite like Jam Cruise. Kicking off the new year aboard the massive Norwegian Jade cruise ship, this five-day ocean rager was wet, wild and wavy. More than 3,000 attendees jammed out to Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood, Galactic, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Maceo Parker, Lotus, Electron, Lettuce, Steel Pulse, Keller Williams and Turkuaz as they cruised from Miami, Florida, to Honduras and Grand Cayman.

One of the best things about a cruise is the around-the-clock activities. At Jam Cruise, taking a break from music could get you to the pool, spa, or a casino. Check out the poker tournaments, a door-decoration contest, roof deck yoga, educational workshops autograph signings, and game shows. Culinary connoisseur? "Chefs on Deck" brings chefs of all specialties, like southern BBQ or New Orleans crawfish to the table. Themed nights, like "Space is the Place," "Yellow," or "Once Upon a Tide" are where things get wild.
