Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Joy will host a five-night “Bobby Flay & Friends” cruise in conjunction with Sixthman, a company that creates festivals at sea, and Entertainment Benefits Group, which specializes in entertainment and travel.

The itinerary, which will sail roundtrip from Miami to Montego Bay, Jamaica, and George Town, Grand Cayman, is scheduled to depart on Nov. 6, 2026.

Sales opened on September 25, 2025, and “will close on Oct. 13, 2025, with “public on-sale beginning October 15, 2025, at 2 p.m. ET,” Sixthman said, with deposits of $100 per person when enrolling in automatic monthly billing.

“I’m beyond thrilled to bring together such a talented group of chefs and friends for an unforgettable culinary adventure at sea,” Flay said.

In addition to Flay, the chef lineup will include Brooke Williamson, Leah Cohen, Scott Conant, Antonia Lofaso, Marc Murphy, Michael Voltaggio, Ayesha Nurdjaja and Damaris Phillips.

The cruise will include cooking and mixology demonstrations, one-of-a-kind dining experiences, an unlimited open bar package, Q&A sessions with chefs, panel discussions, signings, wellness activities and themed events.

“Anyone can book a table at a restaurant or tune into a cooking show,” said Sixthman CEO Jeff Cuellar.

“What makes this cruise special is the opportunity to see some of today’s most influential culinary voices out of the kitchen and simply as people sharing meals, recipes and meaningful conversations.”

“This sailing will be our most elevated yet on the Norwegian Joy, and I can’t wait to see all of the ways our guests are able to create memories with loved ones that will last a lifetime, Cuellar added.
