Dwight Calwhite describes Groove Cruise, a 96-hour floating electronic music festival founded by Jason Bukema that sails from Miami to the Caribbean. The festival features DJs, costumes, and a party atmosphere that Calwhite credits with changing his life through its community.
I'm bummed because right now I'm missing what would have been my 12th time attending Groove Cruise. If you didn't already know, Groove Cruise is the world's original and largest floating dance music festival founded by my friend Jason Bukema in 2004. This legendary event blends a luxury cruise with nonstop electronic music, themed parties, and tropical destinations. Think of it as a giant 96-hour party on a cruise ship with world-class DJs performing on stages all over the ship and shore. Groove Cruise sails out of Miami every year to exotic destinations in the Caribbean. I'm grateful to have created so many cherished memories with now lifelong friends in amazing locales like Jamaica and the Bahamas. But most of the fun happens on the cruise ship itself, with thousands of giddy people adventuring around the floating city and dancing past sunrise. Costumes are highly encouraged, sleep is optional, and the energy is absolutely unmatched. It's not just a festival, it's a floating community of music lovers, mischief makers, and adventure seekers. Even though Jason is now chartering the largest cruise ships in the world, the reservations sell out over 8 months before it sets sail. Trust me, you don't want to miss this next level experience. So grab some friends and reserve a stateroom on Groove Cruise 2027. And when you do, use discount code DWIGHT50 for $50 off per person. I'll see you on the high seas.
