Festival at Sea is the ORIGINAL Black Culture Cruise.
For over 33 years we have brought Cruising with African-American Twist to the Caribbean Sea.
Thanks to our passengers we have been truly blessed to be able to bring our brand of cruising with an African-American Twist to the oceans, seas and rivers of the world since 1991. Today, the spirit of our Black culture cruise is as strong as ever as we prepare to embark on our 34th Caribbean sailing.
In 2025 we were joined by over 2,900 of our #FASFamily to sail the Caribbean for 8-nights on the Celebrity Reflection. In 2025, we will do it again! First visiting Cozumel and Roatan and then heading to Montego Bay and Grand Cayman before returning to our port of origin in Fort Lauderdale. The Reflection is a luxurious vessel appointed with stylish accommodations, luxury boutiques and elegant event spaces. Offering vast ocean views, it is designed in a way that accentuates the Festival at Sea experience. You can see more details about the ship here.

Or you may opt to take a more relaxed approach by the pool, grab a drink, kick your feet up and enjoy the vibes until one of our top-name entertainers steps on stage. Some past performers include: After 7, Boyz II Men, Roy Wood Jr., Robin Thicke, Charlie Wilson, Kem, October London, Bill Bellamy, DJ Jazzy Jeff, The Isley Brothers, Babyface, Fantasia, Cedric the Entertainer, Anthony Hamilton, and many others!
As you might be able to tell, we curate a jam packed itinerary that can only be described so much with words. For the rest, you have to cruise with us and experience being immersed in the camaraderie and culture to realize that the heartbeat of this cruise is not the music, the shows or the events…it is the people. That is why we have a simple honest saying for the Festival at Sea experience:
“Once you go…then you know!”
