JoCo Cruise

JoCo Cruise stands with the people of Minnesota (and beyond) We can’t post “business as usual” when atrocities like the recent ICE and Border Patrol murders are occurring. Instead we’re going to share JoCo Cruise joy by posting moments of niceness and normalcy, as bright spots in these dark times. We see you, we hear you, and we’re so proud of those among us (including some of our amazing featured guests) who are on the front lines, standing against brutality and lawlessness and for justice and kindness. We pride ourselves in having one of the kindest communities on the seven seas (and possibly anywhere else), and we hope to always keep it that way. We’ll get through this together, and build something better on the other side.

Jonathan Coulton will be attending his own cruise! Perhaps best known for writing music for Portal & SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical, he also wrote a pretty good cover of Baby Got Back. See him on JoCo Cruise 2026! Bio here: jococruise.com/jonathan-cou...

Who would you be if you could be fearlessly yourself? What might you try? The JoCo Cruise is a great place for "firsts" #cosplay #jococruise

Was there anything surprising to you the first time you went on a cruise? Or was it pretty much how you imagined it would be?
