Adding to the festive spirit, moko jumbies—the iconic stilt-walking dancers of the Caribbean—will perform, bringing an extra touch of tradition and spectacle to the party. Guests can also indulge in local St. Croix cuisine specials, offering a taste of the island’s culinary delights.

All you need is a day pass to enjoy access to The Fred’s pool and amenities, ensuring that everyone can be part of the fun, regardless of whether you’re stepping off the cruise ship or exploring the island on your own.
What is the Uber Soca Cruise?
For those unfamiliar with the Uber Soca Cruise, it’s the world’s largest Soca festival at sea, recently crowned “Best Cruise Event of the Year” at the Caribbean Music Awards. This 5-day, 4-night extravaganza aboard the luxurious Mariner of the Seas is more than just a cruise—it’s a floating carnival that brings the infectious energy of Soca music and Caribbean culture to the high seas.
With over 55 events and performances from more than 80 top Soca entertainers, the Uber Soca Cruise is a nonstop celebration of music, culture, and community. It’s an unparalleled experience that draws Soca lovers from around the globe, making it a must-attend event for anyone passionate about Caribbean music and dance.

Known for its crystal-clear waters, historic towns, and warm hospitality, St. Croix is the perfect setting for a day of celebration and exploration.
As the cruise docks in Frederiksted, the town will come alive with the spirit of Soca, with the “Xperience St. Croix USVI” event showcasing the island’s vibrant culture.
