Sublime are taking their celebration of legacy and rebirth out to sea. The band have announced the Sublime Reef Madness Cruise, a four-night festival vacation sailing November 15–19, 2026 from Miami, Florida to Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas aboard Norwegian Jewel.
Produced in partnership with Sixthman, the cruise promises a tightly curated, festival level experience built around two headline pool deck performances from Sublime. One set will feature a front to back performance of the band’s landmark self titled 1996 album, while the second will draw from a greatest hits catalog that has remained foundational to Southern California music culture for nearly three decades.
Reef Madness brings together a lineup that reflects the wide reach of Sublime’s influence. Artists on board include Yelawolf, The Elovaters, Common Kings, Amigo the Devil, Long Beach Dub Allstars and Codefendants, along with additional sets from G. Love, The Altons, Wheeland Brothers, Dizzyisdead, and more.
The BVRNT Stage, presented by SVNBVRNT, will spotlight performances from Jakobs Castle, Strange Case, and friends, reinforcing the cruise’s mix of legacy acts and emerging voices. Hip hop icon DJ Muggs will also perform, alongside DJ Product and DJ Mama Troy.
Beyond the music, Reef Madness leans into the communal energy that has always surrounded Sublime. Fans can expect band hosted Q and A sessions, curated art displays featuring rare memorabilia, and exclusive activities throughout the ship. Comedy sets from Jason Ellis, Daryl Wright, and Eric Freedman are also part of the onboard programming, as are live tattoos from Opie Ortiz and wellness sessions led by Fabian Rodriguez. The Nowell Family Foundation will be represented throughout the experience.
The Norwegian Jewel itself will serve as more than just a venue. With multiple dining options, pool decks and hot tubs, a full service spa, casino, fitness center, and nonstop bars, the ship is designed to function as a floating resort. The cruise also includes a full day stop at Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian’s private island in the Bahamas, offering beach time, snorkeling, and optional excursions available closer to the sailing date.
Presale signups for the Sublime Reef Madness Cruise are open now through February 8, with a final presale window closing February 15. Public on sales begin February 17 at 2 pm Eastern. Early presale bookings receive a 100 dollar savings before prices increase. The first 500 cabins booked will also receive access to an exclusive photo opportunity with the band.
The announcement lands during a major resurgence for Sublime. With Jakob Nowell now fronting the band alongside original members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh, Sublime are heading into 2026 with a packed schedule that includes Red Rocks shows celebrating the 30th anniversary of their self titled album, the launch of the Sublime Me Gusta festival series, and the release of their upcoming album Till The Sun Explodes.
