Groove Cruise is the world’s largest floating dance music festival and it has announced the lineup for the 2026 edition, which takes place from 22 - 26 January aboard Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas.

The 2026 lineup features a diverse roster including headliner John Summit alongside performers such as Cloonee, Azzecca, Chris Lorenzo, Jackie Hollander, Jason Ross, Markus Schulz and Green Velvet, while organisers have also lined up nearly 40 female acts as they continue an effort to increase gender diversity in festival programming across 96 hours of non-stop dance music.

The cruise will depart from Miami and sail to Nassau, Bahamas with more than 100 DJs across 13 stages during the four-day voyage. Alongside music are curated experiences including pool and theme parties, wellness activities and destination excursions aboard Wonder of the Seas, one of the largest cruise ships currently in operation and offering a wide range of dining and entertainment options.

Groove Cruise is produced by Whet Travel, a Florida-based travel company that has organised music-focused cruise events for over 20 years. Alongside its flagship event, Whet Travel is also known for philanthropic efforts through the Whet Foundation which supports community programs and environmental initiatives in cruise destinations.
