This is a next-level carnival experience, bringing the joy and vibrancy of soca music and Caribbean carnivals to the high seas.
Why Uber Soca Cruise is Stopping in St. Croix
St. Croix, often called the hidden gem of the US Virgin Islands, is one of two scheduled stops for the Uber Soca Cruise in 2024. This stop, dubbed “Xperience St. Croix USVI,” will allow guests to soak in the island’s stunning beauty, rich history, and dynamic culture.

For this stop, Uber Soca Cruise has crafted an exceptional event—a Jouvert/Beach Party on one of St. Croix’s gorgeous shores. This fun-filled day of music, dancing, and island vibes is designed to immerse guests in St. Croix’s vibrant spirit and breathtaking landscapes.
Xperience Themes by Day & Night
The excitement of Uber Soca Cruise doesn’t end with the destination. Each day and night aboard the ship brings a new theme for guests to embrace, making it a sartorial adventure like no other.

Guests are encouraged to go all out, decked in dazzling costumes, bringing color and excitement to every moment. Themed parties and events add an extra layer of entertainment, turning each evening into a fashion-forward spectacle.
What is Soca Music?
Soca (short for “Soul of Calypso”) is a genre that originated in Trinidad and Tobago in the 1970s, evolving from calypso music with influences from African, Caribbean, and South Asian rhythms. With its fast-paced beats, infectious melodies, and emphasis on rhythmic percussion, soca is a genre made for dancing and celebration.
Known for its high energy, soca has transcended its Trinidadian roots to become a global phenomenon, embraced at festivals and carnivals around the world. The Uber Soca Cruise taps into this worldwide love for soca music, bringing together the best soca artists to create an immersive, high-octane musical experience.
