Join Us At Sea
January 24th-31st, 2027
Seven extraordinary days of music, wine, food and discovery. This January, City Winery is teaming up with Journey of Jazz for a floating festival unlike anything we've done before, bringing the live music, wine and hospitality you love from our venues onto the open water. From New Orleans to Progreso, you'll spend a week surrounded by world-class jazz, City Winery wine experiences, and a community of people who get it. This isn't just a cruise. It's City Winery, somewhere entirely new. Sail with us January 24–31, 2027.
Itinerary and Ports of Call
The Journey of Jazz Cruise departs Tampa Sunday, January 24, 2027, kicking off with a day at sea before docking in New Orleans for two full days of live jazz, brass bands, and Creole cooking. From there, guests enjoy another sea day before landing in Progreso, Mexico for beaches, Mayan ruins, and fresh Yucatán seafood. A final day at sea rounds out the trip before the ship returns to Tampa early Sunday, January 31, wrapping an eight-day journey built around music, food, and new friends.
New Orleans
As the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans welcomes guests with brass bands, Creole classics like gumbo and jambalaya, and the unmistakable energy of the French Quarter. It's an immersive stop rich in rhythm and flavor.
Progresso, Mexico
Progreso offers sandy beaches, fresh Yucatán seafood, and easy access to Mayan ruins like Chichen Itzá. A lively waterfront promenade rounds out this charming, culture-filled coastal stop
Tampa, FL
Journey of Jazz docks in Tampa's lively waterfront, where smooth jazz, live shows, and bold local flavors set the tone. It's a laid-back yet lively stop that pairs perfectly with the music on board.
