Leaving A Positive Legacy Since 2004…
Jam Cruise 1 is where it all started for Positive Legacy. Since 2010, Positive Legacy, the 501(c)(3) not-for-profit arm of Cloud 9 Adventures, has raised over $300,000 during Jam Cruise to support environmental and humanitarian programs.
This year, Positive Legacy celebrates reaching $1.5 Million Dollars in total grant funding! We are so proud of this huge milestone and incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped by Leaving A Positive Legacy onshore and on board. We can’t wait to see what we can accomplish in the future together!
POSITIVE LEGACY
Positive Legacy, the 501(c)(3) not-for-profit arm of Cloud 9 Adventures, is committed to integrating live music and service to positively impact the communities we visit. Positive Legacy’s mission inspires music fans and artists to collectively take action and build a better world. The goal is to develop service activities that Jam Cruisers can participate in to bring a deeper sense of purpose to their trip.

CONSCIOUS CRUISING
The Conscious Cruising program encourages cruisers to give back, engage, and be eco-conscious. We start by replacing all plastic cups with environmentally safe alternatives such as compostable cups, ensuring no plastic straws are used, and involving industry leading experts to educate fans and our shipboard partners alike. Conscious Cruising works with Positive Legacy and Trees, Water & People to help offset carbon emissions and reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere – all in an effort to make Jam Cruise one of the greenest cruises on the seven seas.
Take the opportunity to make a real difference in the local community during a port stop. The Day of Service is a fan favorite outing that gets involved with projects like visiting educational farms, working on schools, picking up trash, beach cleanups, and so much more. Stay tuned for details on the 2027 Day of Service.
A heartfelt thank you to Matt Butler who curates an improvisational masterpiece for Positive Legacy’s annual celebration with the Conscious Cruisers. The JC22 lineup was off the charts and the music they created was inspirational and uplifting – just what Jam Cruise is all about. Stay tuned for JC23 info!

Commitment to Sustainability
MSC Cruises is focused on providing guests the most sustainable and environmentally friendly cruise experience possible.
MSC’s ambitious “Plastics Reduction Programme” has replaced all single use plastics (straws, cups, shopping bags, coffee stirrers) with biodegradable and environmentally friendly alternatives. MSC has been recognized by industry watchdog, Bureau Veritas, with the highest international standards in the areas of environment, food safety, health and safety, and energy efficiency for all three domains of potential pollution – air, water, and waste.
Carbon offsetting, compostable cups, complete recycling program and other initiatives by the Conscious Cruising program help make this a clean music cruise. MSC’s willingness to go above and beyond the environmental and energy management regulations is just one of many reasons they are an ideal partner for Jam Cruise.
