The Zumba® Cruise is a one-of-a-kind fitness vacation where you’ll dance, sweat, and party with the best Zumba® instructors, presenters, and fellow Zumba lovers—all while sailing to exciting destinations.

The Zumba® Cruise will take place March 9–13, 2026, aboard the Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) Pearl. The ship will depart from the Port of Miami and sail to Cozumel, Mexico.

Yes! The Zumba® Cruise is open to ZIN™ Members, students, and anyone who loves Zumba® or wants a fun and active vacation. You don’t need to be an instructor to join—just bring your love for dance and movement.

Each guest is allowed to bring two pieces of luggage onboard, with a maximum weight of 50 pounds per bag. Additionally, guests may carry one personal item, such as a backpack or purse. We advise labeling your luggage with your name and contact information to avoid any mix-ups during embarkation.

This is a private charter, meaning the entire ship is dedicated to Zumba® lovers. We curate a schedule full of Master Classes, themed parties, special performances, and exclusive activities you won’t find on a regular cruise.

The Zumba® Cruise is a 4-night, 5-day themed vacation on the Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) Pearl, bringing together the global Zumba® community for an unforgettable experience at sea. The entire ship is chartered exclusively for Zumba® lovers, creating a vibrant and inspiring environment where every guest shares a common passion. It’s like a family vacation with fellow ZIN™ Members and Zumba® fans. The entire Cruise experience is centered around the Zumba® community and lifestyle.

‍

By contrast, the ZIN™ Convention remains Zumba’s premier educational event, created exclusively for ZIN™ Members to deepen their knowledge, enhance their skills, and grow as instructors.

Yes! We offer flexible payment plans so you can secure your spot with a deposit and pay in installments leading up to the Cruise.

The Monthly Automatic Billing Plan (recurring billing) allows guests to establish an evenly divided payment schedule up front. Upon enrolling, guests are required to pay a deposit upfront to confirm their booking. Zumba® then automatically charges the guest’s authorized credit card on file for the applicable charges on the scheduled dates (15th of every month or first business day thereafter). Because the payments are evenly divided, guests are not faced with a large final payment. There is no additional charge for selecting the Monthly Automatic Billing Plan. The final payment will be processed on or about January 15, 2026.

Upon enrolling, guests are required to pay a deposit upfront to confirm their booking. Zumba® then automatically charges the guest’s authorized credit card on file for the second deposit (50% of the remaining balance due) on or about September 15, 2025, and a final payment due on or about January 15, 2026. There is no additional charge for selecting the Three Payment Automatic Billing Plan.
