Olas de Fuego: Nicky Jam x Virgin Voyages — a Latin music festival at sea.

Sailing round trip from San Juan December 5-13, this 8-night voyage features reggaeton up-and-comers, meet-and-greets, and more onboard exclusives.

Nicky Jam

Forget muddy fields and overpriced water bottles. Olas de Fuego: Nicky Jam x Virgin Voyages is here to bring some much-needed style and comfort to a traditional music festival experience, and here's the beautiful part: you get to sell it. 

From December 5-13, we're turning the Caribbean into a floating concert venue with the Olas de Fuego sailing — a music festival at sea that only Virgin Voyages could dream up. This isn't your average San Juan music cruise. It's eight days of reggaeton royalty, sun-soaked islands, and the kind of unforgettable moments that make your Sailors look like geniuses for booking with you. If you've been waiting for Virgin Voyages themed cruises that practically sell themselves, consider this your golden ticket. Oh, and did we mention the 16% commission (no NCFs) on an 8-night voyage? Yeah, we're making it worth your while.

Exclusive programming and experiences

This isn't just a cruise with a DJ set thrown in. We've collaborated with Nicky Jam himself to create Nicky Jam exclusive experiences that'll have your Sailors texting their friends at 2 AM (with the included onboard WiFi, obviously). These festival cruise activities are the kind of insider access that makes Virgin Voyages lifestyle cruises legendary — and makes your job incredibly easy.

Cabin drop surprises

The magic starts before your Sailors even unpack. Every Sailor gets an exclusive Nicky Jam QR code gift waiting in their cabin — their golden ticket to a personal exclusive welcome video from the King of Reggaeton himself, plus access to a secret track they won't find anywhere else. Think of it as Nicky sliding into their DMs, but make it glamorous. The QR code also unlocks highlights of the week's schedule, so they won't miss a single beat.

PR-inspired culinary moments

La Industria Bakery treats are coming aboard, and trust us, this is not your abuela's bake sale (though she'd probably approve). We're bringing authentic Puerto Rican cuisine onboard with sweet and savory creations inspired by Nicky's own bakery. This Nicky Jam culinary experience means your Sailors can fuel their festival energy with flavors straight from the streets of San Juan — because great music deserves equally great food.

Squid Ink tattoo takeover

Ready to help your Sailors commemorate this voyage with some permanent ink? Our onboard tattoo parlor, Squid Ink, is getting the Nicky treatment with exclusive Nicky Jam tattoo designs available only on this sailing. These exclusive tattoo flash pieces are Squid Ink tattoos they literally can't get anywhere else. No regrets, just really cool stories — and really happy Sailors.

Artist encounters

Here's where things get really intimate. We're talking Nicky Jam meet & greet opportunities and performer encounters that give your Sailors behind-the-scenes access most fans only dream about. Whether they're getting their vinyl signed or just soaking up the energy, these moments are the VIP flex that'll have them thanking you for months.

Ports of call & Shore Things

Sure, the onboard party is unmatched, but let's talk about these Caribbean cruise ports. We've lined up curated shore excursions across five Virgin Voyages destinations that'll make you fall in love with island life all over again.

Willemstad, Curaçao

Dutch colonial charm meets Caribbean cool in Curaçao, where those pastel buildings are just begging for your Instagram feed. The Curaçao diving hotspots are legendary, and the Dutch charm is real. Don't let your Sailors miss our Made in Curaçao — Aloe & Artisans shore thing, where they'll discover the island's creative spirit through local artisans and that famous aloe.

Oranjestad, Aruba

One happy island, infinite good vibes. Aruba beaches are the stuff of screensavers, and the boutique shopping scene is surprisingly addictive. Our featured Shore Thing: Champagne & Lobster Catamaran Extravaganza. Yes, it's exactly as luxe as it sounds. Boutique shopping by day, bubbles and lobster by sunset — Aruba energy is undefeated.

Roseau, Dominica

The nature island doesn't mess around. We're talking Dominica waterfalls, lush jungles, and swimming through Titou Gorge like you're in a Pirates movie (minus the danger, plus the Instagram ops). The Water Wonderland & Titou Gorge Shore Thing is for Sailors who want their adventure with a side of adrenaline.

St. Johns, Antigua

With 365 beaches (one for every day of the year, allegedly), Antigua is basically showing off. The Antigua snorkeling is next-level, and if your Sailors are up for a workout with a view, the Fort Barrington hike delivers. But why hike when you can fly? The Antigua Full Island Helicopter Tour Shore Thing lets you see it all from above — because subtlety is overrated.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

Two countries, one island, endless possibilities. St. Maarten duty-free shopping is dangerous for your wallet (in the best way), and the dual-culture island vibe means your Sailors get French sophistication and Dutch directness in one stop. The Dune Buggy & Maho Beach Adventure Shore Thing combines off-road thrills with that famous beach where planes buzz overhead. Peak chaos energy.

Why choose Virgin Voyages for a one-of-a-kind music cruise

Let's be real: not all cruises are created equal. Virgin Voyages music cruises exist because we got tired of the stuffy, one-size-fits-all approach to sailing. Our lifestyle-driven cruises are designed for people who want more — more freedom, more flavor, more everything. This reggaeton cruise is just the latest example of how we're flipping the industry on its head.

Every Virgin Voyage is adults-only cruise experiences by design, which means you can actually relax without dodging runaway kids or forced family activities. We're talking Michelin-star dining that'll ruin regular restaurants for you, award-winning entertainment so good, it performs on land without missing a beat, and those curated shore excursions that actually deliver.

Music is in Virgin's DNA — Sir Richard didn't build an empire on boring. That unique blend of music, culture, and travel isn't just marketing speak; it's literally what we do. Olas de Fuego is proof that when you give creative freedom to artists and travelers alike, magic happens.

Book Nicky Jam cruise

Spots for the Olas de Fuego: Nicky Jam x Virgin Voyages sailing are disappearing faster than free drinks at a pool party. If you want your Sailors in on this Caribbean music cruise, now's the time to book (before FOMO sets in). This is one of those Virgin Voyages themed cruises that people will be talking about long after the tans fade. Book your Sailor voyage now!
