Top Reggae Acts Planned for Japan's first Music-themed Cruise
The international Mighty Crown sound system presents the "Far East Reggae Cruise," July 15-20, 2023. The 8x world champion sound invites travelers from around the world to join them for this once in a lifetime experience on Japan's first ever music cruise, as they commemorate their sound's forthcoming retirement.
The highly anticipated "Far East Reggae Cruise" sets sail from Japan to Korea aboard the luxurious MSC Bellissima (operated by MSC Cruises). The stellar, 6-day, 5-night themed cruise will feature performances from leading Jamaican and Japanese Reggae and Dancehall artists and sound systems, offering cruisers a delightful fusion of music, food and culture. Top acts include Freddie McGregor, Barrington Levy, Beenie Man, Wayne Wonder, TOK, Ruff Kutt Band, Rory Stone Love, Massive B, DJ Puffy and many more!
MSC Bellissima’s colossal size allows the "Far East Reggae Cruise" to accommodate thousands of passengers. As performances unfold on multiple stages through out the ship, guests can bask in Reggae and Dancehall music and culture with a "Far East" twist. Along the 96-meter-long promenade lies the social hub of the ship, lined with shops, bars, restaurants and an array of family offerings like workshops, kids’ activities and services. The "Far East Reggae Cruise" will resemble a musically-driven cosmopolitan city, welcoming music lovers and their families. Mediterranean-style hospitality by the staff and crew will top off the cruise experience.
The "Far East Reggae Cruise" is a part of Mighty Crown's "The Final Round Tour," which has been abuzz since kicking off with David Rodigan in Japan in March and and Bermuda in April. The multi-city dates saw the dynamic sound duo perform together before sold out crowds for one last time. Other stops pegged for "The Final Round Tour" include Canada, Trinidad, Jamaica, other Caribbean islands, United States and the United Kingdom.
Since they formed over 30 years ago, these renowned Reggae and Dancehall impresarios from Yokohama, Japan have rocked stages all over the world! With their state-of-the-art sound system, Mighty Crown has won a total of 8 World titles in sound clash competitions, defeating the best in the industry. Keeping authentic, Jamaican Reggae and Dancehall music and culture at the core of their global brand, Mighty Crown is instrumental in spreading this movement in Japan. As a result, the sound system pioneers have garnered an enormous local and global fan base.
