Public Booking is Now Open!
Public booking for JoCo Cruise 2023 is happening right now. This very second! Many cabin types have already sold out (passengers on JoCo Cruise 2022 had the opportunity to book while onboard, and boy they sure did), and we fully expect the 2023 event to sell out completely in relatively short order.
You can review all available cabin types, prices, available discounts, and deposit schedules on our Pricing Page . Or if you already know what you want, smack that booking button below!
Forms of Payment
As was the case with JoCo Cruise 2022, we're unable to process credit cards or PayPal transactions at this time. Payments may be made for 2023 via ACH transfer. The ACH transfer process withdraws funds from an existing bank account rather than placing a charge against a credit card account. In this regard, an ACH transfer works somewhat like a wire transfer, but is less complicated and most banks won’t charge any fee for it—for those that do, it’s less expensive than wire transfer fees. (If you wish, you can think of the process as similar to a Venmo transaction.) You will need your login information for your bank account for this process. (The login is handled securely and directly within the JoCo Cruise booking/payment process, via Plaid .)
Our system will support ACH transfers from most major US-based financial institutions, as well as many smaller banks and credit unions (over 2,000 in total). If you don't have a US-based bank account, or you find that your particular US financial institution is not supported by Plaid, please email us at booking@jococruise.com .
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is not included in the JoCo Cruise 2023 cruise price, but we strongly suggest purchasing it through a third party. Each year there have been passengers who have needed to cancel for a wide variety of reasons (including adverse weather, cabinmates backing out, and unforeseen financial hardship; many people in 2022 experienced weather-related flight delays post-cruise), so we highly recommend it. For complete peace of mind, you may wish to consider a policy that allows “Cancel for Any Reason” coverage.
One travel insurance source we recommend is Yonder , which aggregates plans from many providers.
While travel insurance can be purchased just about any time, the most flexible plans generally must be purchased within 14 days of your initial booking; some policies, particularly "Cancel for Any Reason" policies, require purchase within one day of booking in order to be covered for pre-existing conditions.
If you use our link to Yonder , you can select the United States as your destination; if you’ve used the above link, on the next screen it’ll automatically select “Cruise” for your type of trip further in the quote process.)
Club SRO
We're once again offering Club SRO on JoCo Cruise 2022, for those passengers who are willing to forego guaranteed seats at the nightly Main Concerts in return for a $125 credit to their onboard account. Complete info about Club SRO can be found in our FAQ . Availability is limited.
You'll be prompted during the booking process to select the option to be considered for Club SRO. If you wish to join after having completed booking, you can fill out the JoCo Cruise 2023 " I Want to Join Club SRO" Application .
Stateroom Placement Requests
If you plan to have stateroom placement requests (e.g., a specific cabin number, deck, or general location, etc.), please see our FAQ item regarding placement requests . This will help familiarize you with the potential issues involved, and will greatly assist you when it comes time to book your cabin and make your requests.
(NOTE: placement requests are no longer a part of the booking process as in earlier years, but instead are submitted via your User Account once your booking is completed. If you email us your placement requests, we will just shrug and point back at this paragraph.)
