More than a vacation
Community travels with us.
Community
Connect entrepreneurs, families, Veterans, seniors, creators, and supporters of Black-owned commerce.
Culture
Explore Caribbean history, food, music, and African-diaspora stories through responsible local experiences.
Commerce
Seek opportunities to support qualified local Black-owned guides, makers, restaurants, and cultural businesses where available.
Connection
Shape potential meetups, learning sessions, and shared activities. Programming depends on final group arrangements.
Before you join
Interest now. Written terms before payment.
Booking & group arrangements
- BMOA is the community organizer, not the cruise line or booking agency.
- This is a group experience within a cruise sailing, not an exclusive charter.
- No payment is collected here. Cabin prices, deposits, deadlines, and cancellation terms are not yet announced.
- Final reservations will use an authorized booking channel after written terms are provided.
- Veteran and senior offers may be requested; no discount or group benefit is guaranteed.
Weather, insurance & BMT
- July–September falls within Atlantic hurricane season; ports and schedules can change.
- Travel insurance is strongly encouraged. Review medical, evacuation, and cancellation coverage carefully.
- Do not assume cancel-for-any-reason coverage is included.
- BMT travel benefits remain pending. No cruise-credit value or redemption allowance is promised.
- No organization is an official travel partner until a written agreement exists.
Help shape the experience
Let's build the group responsibly.
Share your preferred sailing and expected number of travelers. Authorized travel professionals, cultural organizations, Black-owned tour operators, Veteran and senior groups, and sponsors can also reach out about contributing.
Your email app opens to contact James directly. Joining the interest list does not reserve a cabin.
