Damian Marley, Shabba Ranks, Burning Spear & More For Return Of ‘Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise’
After an unexpected two-year hiatus, the Welcome To Jamrock Reggae Cruise (WTJRC) will return in 2022 for its 7th annual musical excursion across the Caribbean Sea.
Founded by Damian Marley and his manager Dan Dalton, the six-day, five-night cruise will run December 7-12, 2022, sailing on Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas. It will depart from Miami, Florida’s cruise port with stops in Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, Jamaica before its return.
Damian and his brother Stephen Marley will return to the stage with their catalog of hits, while two-time Grammy award winner and living reggae legend Burning Spear will perform for the first time after a six-year hiatus.
Grammy Award-winning Dancehall icon Shabba Ranks will also deliver a rare special performance.
“Dancehall icons like Bounty Killer, T.O.K. Cham and Ding Dong will heat up the crowd, while reggae acts from all generations like Johnny Osborne, Morgan Heritage, Cocoa Tea, Sizzla, j Boog and Kabaka Pyramid will tap into conscious minds alike. Cruisers will also swoon to the sounds of lover’s rock from singers Maxi Priest, Tarrus Riley, Christopher Ellis, Etana and newcomer Naomi Cowan,” a WTJRC release also noted.
“Defending sound system champion Warrior Sound has also announced his return for the annual Sound Clash At Sea. This is one of WTJRC’s most-anticipated climatic events, where sound systems go head-to-head, tune-for-tune to battle it out for the championship title. WTJRC will announce the full DJ and sound system lineup at a later date.”
