The 311 Caribbean Cruise will return from March 10–15, 2027, sailing from Miami to Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and Grand Cayman. The event, operated by maritime festival promoter Sixthman, features a lineup headlined by 311, with additional performances from The Pharcyde, Little Stranger, Ballyhoo!, Bumpin Uglies, The Skints, RDGLDGRN, and Jeff Rosenstock.
The Evolution of the 311 Cruise
311 has maintained a consistent presence in the concert cruise market, partnering with Sixthman to host seafaring festivals since 2011. According to the official event announcement, the 2027 itinerary marks another iteration of the band’s long-standing residency on the high seas.
Jeff Rosenstock’s Long-Term Campaign
The inclusion of Jeff Rosenstock on the 2027 lineup follows a public, decade-long effort to secure a spot on the ship. In a 2012 open letter to the band, Rosenstock expressed interest in performing, noting that he had been a fan of 311 since childhood. At the time, he was transitioning from his work with the band Bomb The Music Industry! to his solo career.
Rosenstock’s campaign for a slot on the cruise continued across social media platforms for years. In a March 2024 post on Twitter, he referenced "311 Day" to reiterate his desire to perform on the voyage. Upon the official announcement of the 2027 lineup, Rosenstock confirmed his participation on Instagram, stating, "THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED."

Why Concert Cruises Remain Popular
The concert cruise model, popularized by companies like Sixthman, creates a contained environment for fans to interact with artists outside of traditional venue settings. For established acts like 311, these voyages provide a way to sustain fan engagement through multi-day festivals.
