Set Sail for the Ultimate HYRYDER Adventure at Sea
We’re thrilled to bring you our most exciting adventure yet with Driftin’ and Dreamin’ – a name that captures exactly what this incredible experience is about. There’s something mystical about being surrounded by endless water, where the horizon becomes limitless and the music can truly set us free.
Your Musical Journey Awaits Aboard a Floating Paradise
Join us for a spectacular 5-night, 6-day cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s magnificent ship, Freedom of the Seas, departing from Miami on February 2, 2026. Our voyage will take the HYRYDER Family to the pristine waters of Coco Cay, Bahamas (Royal Caribbean’s private island paradise) and the vibrant shores of Cozumel, Mexico, with multiple days at sea where the music and magic never stop.
This Isn’t Any Cruise Ship
Freedom of the Seas is a world-class floating resort. Step aboard for an unforgettable musical odyssey that combines the magic of HYRYDER celebrating the legendary music of the Grateful Dead with an incredible array of activities, dining, and entertainment that will keep you amazed from sunrise to starlight.
Over our 5-night, 6-day journey, HYRYDER will perform three private concerts exclusively for Driftin’ and Dreamin’ guests, strategically scheduled during our days at sea so you can fully immerse yourself in the incredible destinations of Coco Cay, Bahamas and Cozumel, Mexico without missing a single note. These intimate performances will take place in Studio B, the ship’s state-of-the-art ice rink that transforms into an unbelievable concert venue just for the Hyryder Family. Imagine the magic of live Grateful Dead music in this unique, intimate setting where every seat feels like front row and the energy bounces off the walls to create an acoustic experience unlike anything on land. With the ocean as our backdrop and this incredible venue as our stage, these three shows will be the heartbeat of our floating musical journey.
In addition to the three private shows, Driftin’ & Dreamin’ guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a meet and greet with the band in an exclusive setting where you can share stories, get autographs, and discover the passion behind their incredible tribute to the Dead. The band wanted to make this special for our guests, so they have arranged complimentary drinks and hors d’oeuvres for this event. This intimate gathering is where the magic happens – where musicians and fans become family.
To keep the connection growing between our guests and the band, Hyryder will host a poster signing session. Collect limited-edition Driftin’ and Dreamin’ artwork created by renowned artist, Mark Serlo, and get it personally signed by the band. These unique pieces will become treasured reminders of your time aboard this magical journey.
The real magic happens in the spaces between – the conversations on deck while, friendships formed over shared musical memories while enjoying a sunset dinner. This is where the Grateful Dead ethos truly comes alive, surrounded by the endless beauty of the ocean and the luxury of a floating resort.
What makes this experience truly special isn’t just the music – it’s everything else that comes with your event package:
