Kevin Smith and Sixthman Announce Jay and Silent Bob Present Cruise Askew

jay and silent bob cruise askew

We got to swim alongside them and interact with them for an hour. Brian O’Halloran, who played Dante in the Clerks movies, led his first Pub Crawl of the trip where fans could sample beers across multiple bars on the ship while Brian met everyone and told stories. The voyage aboard the Norwegian Pearl will set sail from Miami, Florida heading to Nassau, Bahamas. The voyage is the latest in a long line of themed cruises offered by Sixthman, including The Broadway Cruise 2023, Coheed and Cambria's S.S. Neverender cruise, Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea, and Flogging Molly's Salty Dog Cruise. Next up was the Plus One podcast featuring Kevin Smith and Jen Schwalbach Smith, who have been married for 24 years. They talked about how their life has been as a married couple, how Jen broke her hip in November, and their horrible experiences on their first cruise together to Alaska.

Experience

Throughout the morning fans could go to autograph sessions with the actors onboard for them to sign the cruise poster that was provided by Sixthman. Lucky fans who booked during the original presale event also got the opportunity to have their photo taken with Jay & Silent Bob. That evening, the cast of Mallrats met up to do a live script reading of the next version of the movie called Twilight of the Mallrats. Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, and co-stars Jason Lee, Renee Humphrey and Ethan Suplee all participated in the reading. Other Askewniverse stars also helped out in the reading including Brian O’Halloran (Clerks),  Jennifer Schwalbach Smith (Clerks 2/Jay & Silent Bob), Jeff Anderson (Clerks) and Ralph Garmen. Audience members were also chosen to participate as characters in the reading as well.

After the group photo, Smith brought out the actors and hosts that were joining him on the cruise for the weekend. He gave an introduction of each person and how they fit into the View Askewniverse. Friday’s activities began with Open Play Street Hockey on deck, based on Dante and Randal’s games of street hockey on the roof of the Quick Stop.

A message for you from Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes!

The islands were beautiful, but unfortunately there was rain on and off throughout the day. We took an excursion through the ship and rode a smaller transfer boat past houses belonging to some of the biggest celebrities in the world on Paradise Island. We landed on Pearl Island for a Beach, Lunch and activity to swim with pigs on a nearby small island called Pig Beach, where dozens of swimming pigs live and play with tourists.

Panels, Podcasts, Readings, Autograph Sessions and More!

The cruise will also give fans a chance to watch live tapings of such Smodcast Network podcasts as Jay and Silent Bob Get Old, Fatman Beyond, Hollywood Babble On, Edumacation, and Plus One. Cruisers can dive even deeper into Smith’s world with a spectacular schedule of “Silly Cinematic Shit,” including the Kevin Smith Me-seum, a “Mooby’s at Sea” pop-up restaurant (complete with late-night Hater Tots), and a script reading of an unreleased version of the Clerks III. The Jay and Silent Bob Present Cruise Askew will feature a range of activities, from live podcast recordings and stand-up comedy to autograph and photo sessions. Additionally, the cruise will see live tapings of Smodcast Network podcasts as Jay and Silent Bob Get Old, Fatman Beyond, Hollywood Babble On, Edumacation, and Plus One. Even more fun will be had via stand-up sets from comedians Jake Ruble and AJ Wilkerson, as well as live musical performances by Lo(u)ser, Mega Ran, Rebuilder, Roots of Mine, Telethon, and Shut Up & Dance.

Welcome to Cruise Askew presented by Jay & Silent Bob!

Soul Asylum led by lead singer Dave Pirner played their biggest hits including “Black Gold.” I met several super fans who joined the cruise just to see the band perform live during their two appearances throughout the weekend. Live music was playing in the boat atrium with LO(U)SER and Telethon gaining new fans who enjoyed the live performances. During the podcast at sea, Kevin announced that he has been writing a new Jay and Silent Bob movie about a competing weed store opening across from their fictional store in Jersey. The mob is also involved for the first time in this movie. They did a cold read of a scene from the movie, which Jason had not seen before the cruise.

Kevin Smith and Sixthman Announce ‘Jay and Silent Bob Present Cruise Askew’

He told his daughter to put his face on t-shirts forever after he is gone. Kevin started off by saying that Sunday would be the six-year anniversary of the heart attack he had that changed his life, and that he is very happy to have the opportunity to be on the cruise. Jason brought some levity as always to the conversation when he talked about his love of bath bombs and how he gets bummed out when traveling and there is only a shower. He also mentioned that he is excited to be in Miami, where his favorite show, CSI Miami was based. Donald Wood is TravelPulse’s senior news editor, bringing nearly 15 years of experience to the desk.

THANK YOU FOR SAILING WITH US!

This luxurious suite includes a living room, dining room, separate bedroom with king-size bed, TVs, mini bar, private bathroom with walk-in shower, and large private balconies. In the early aughts, fans begged the management of Central Florida band Sister Hazel to organize a weekend hangout with the musicians, which led to an inaugural Labor Day cruise. The Summer of ‘99 Cruise promises performances from Creed, 3 Doors Down, and a trip to the Bahamas this April, while the Rock The Bells Cruise promises to bring hip-hop heads together with Jadakiss, E-40, Talib Kweli, and more in November. And while there’s no official data on how big the industry’s gotten, the most successful production company in the game, Sixthman, started off hosting 13 music cruises in 2022 and is aiming to double that in 2025.

The ship even featured a pop-up restaurant, Mooby’s, made famous in Clerks 2. Once the ship sets sail, the voyage will be filled with Jay and Silent Bob fanfare, including live podcast recordings, stand-up comedy sessions and autograph and photo sessions. Other comedians on the cruise include Brian O'Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Trevor Fehrman, Jennifer Schwalbach Smith and more. These modern balcony stateroom feature two lower beds that can be converted to a queen size bed, private bathroom, TV, sitting area, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to a private balcony.

He also said that there are AA meetings on the boat and that he will be attending them while onboard during the cruise. The Pearl pulled out to sea leaving Miami behind for the open seas. The weather was beautiful with sunny and 70-degree weather for the group photo that was taken with everyone onboard the top deck as the ship set sail.

The Paid In Full Discount will only apply if the entire stateroom is paid for and is not available on a per person basis. Ridha, a.k.a. Boys Noize, has been a headliner on all four Friendship sailings, participating in Richards’ at-sea lineups as far back as the second Holy Ship In 2012. “For me, it's the best paid work ever,” he says, noting that on most of his trips, he makes sure to use the fitness facilities, book a massage, and race in the on-board go-karts.

The Jay and Silent Bob Cruise Askew made its debut voyage from February 23rd through the 26th aboard the Norwegian Pearl with Sixthman. The cruise began in Miami, Florida and sailed all the way to Nassau, Bahamas. The experience was hosted by Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, and all their friends from the View Askewniverse. Guests will also have the opportunity to enjoy the Kevin Smith Me-seum, a “Mooby’s at Sea” pop-up restaurant and a script reading session of an unreleased version of the Clerks III. Comedians Jake Ruble and AJ Wilkerson will perform as well and there will also be live musical performances by Lo(u)ser, Mega Ran, Rebuilder, Roots of Mine, Telethon, and Shut Up & Dance.

Jay and Silent Bob Set Sail on First Ever Cruise

It was very fun to see unpublished work being read live onboard for the first time in front of a live audience. It was a continual reminder of the brilliance of Kevin Smith’s writing chops. The first formal event of the cruise was the Jay and Silent Bob Get Old podcast. The Jay and Silent Bob Get Old podcast started as a podcast about Jason’s sobriety as a weekly check in. At the time of the podcast onboard the ship, he was 13 years, 7 months, and 3 weeks sober.

The sailings will also include musical performances by Lo(u)ser, Mega Ran, Rebuilder, Roots of Mine, Telethon and Shut Up & Dance, as well as an unreleased Clerks III script reading.

Comedians & Special Guests

I’m not sure how I missed all these cult classics in the 90’s when I was in college but I put myself through a crash course of movie viewing and research to make sure I was prepared for the voyage. I fell in love with the characters and the humor so I was pretty excited to board the ship and see the live events with the characters. The real draw are the activities available onboard Norwegian Pearl, with Smith and Mewes hosting live podcast recordings, stand-up comedy sessions, autograph and photo sessions, and more. These staterooms feature two lower beds that can be converted to a queen-size bed, TV, private bathroom, and a sitting area.

"As a man who's been afraid of sharks since he first saw Jaws in 1975, I'm gonna do my best to make sure none of us get eaten on the Cruise Askew," Smith told Cruise Critic. "I'm also gonna go out of my way to make sure we all have a great time while on the high seas by loading the three days with any and all activities a fan of my flicks could want." “As a man who’s been afraid of sharks since he first saw Jaws in 1975, I’m gonna do my best to make sure none of us get eaten on the Cruise Askew!

Fat Man Beyond was next, a podcast with Kevin and Marc Bernardin. In the podcast the pair covers current events in movies and comic books. When asked about who gets to see and make decisions on scripts, the audience was told that Scott is the first one who sees the script, and then Jordan or Liz read the script and tell Kevin if the script is feasible. We caught Roots of Mine performing in the atrium before dinner and jammed out to their reggae style beats with fans who were back for more after catching their first performance on Friday night. The bands “Green Trees” and “Something’s Got to Give” were featured on the Clerks III soundtrack. On Saturday we arrived at the port of Nassau in the Bahamas.

World’s largest cruise ship arrives in Miami, Icon of the Seas

For Sixthman’s Jay and Silent Bob Cruise Askew, which sailed in February, the cult film's director Kevin Smith hosted a table reading with fans. The company makes sure performers understand that their cruise won’t be successful—or repeatable—if they just hide in their cabin between performances. Now 25 sailings later, The Rock Boat hosted by Sister Hazel remains a flagship event of Sixthman’s busy annual schedule. What’s more, Norwegian Cruise Line officially acquired the company in 2012, which meant a stable supply of ships outfitted with the exact specs needed to pull off months of musical sailings. Sixthman is now also helmed by Jeff Cuellar, the former festival director of the massive Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee. And these days, instead of planning a four-day fest for tens of thousands, he’s in charge of filling a four-month block’s worth of programming for a variety of niche but passionate audiences.

Between live events we also checked out the Kevin Smith Me-Seum that was located on Deck 7 mid-ship. The space was setup to showcase Kevin’s movie memorabilia that he has collected over the past several decades while making his films. There were costumes, original scripts, movie posters and even the Jesus kite from Clerks III. We attended a wine tasting with Trevor Fehram who played Elias in the Clerks film series and his wife, Renee Humphrey of Mallrats sampling 4 different wines with guests.

Fans know actors Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith for their cult-classic films like Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, but they can now experience the duo and other related activities on the high seas.

Beyond the onboard experience, Clerks, Mallrats, and Funployees will have the chance to enjoy a shore excursion to Nassau, Bahamas, known for its natural beauty and cultural history, beaches, and duty-free shopping. Other favorites from the View Askew universe will also sail aboard Norwegian Pearl, including Brian O’Halloran, Marc Bernardin, Ralph Garman, Andy McElfresh, Jeff Anderson, Trevor Fehrman, and Jennifer Schwalbach Smith. All events have general admission seating/entrance, so you’re welcome to come and go as you wish!

Smith was everywhere everyday delivering hour after hour live entertainment. It was a dream come true for the Askewniverse fans to get up close and personal experiences at sea for these three days. We would highly recommend this cruise when it comes back in 2026 for any Jay and Silent Bob fan. Comedians Jake Ruble and AJ Wilkerson as well as live musical performances by Lo(u)ser, Mega Ran, Rebuilder, Roots of Mine, Telethon, and Shut Up & Dance will round out the activies.

He even sneaks in a little work—collaborating with other artists who are also staying on the ship. The elevator doors open to release a throng of rowdy ravers, their heads bouncing to the rhythm of a club track screeching with energy. At the center of it all stands Alex Ridha, a German DJ known to fans as Boys Noize, who blares the track from a moving cart outfitted with turntables, speakers, and glowing disco lights while he drips with sweat. The bass practically crunches from the maxed-out speakers. Kevin spent some time discussing mental health and how important it is to live in the now. He had genuine and heartfelt responses to all of the questions asked of him.

2 twin beds that convert to 1 queen bed, 1 upper bed, and 1 single sofa bed. 2 twin beds that convert to 1 queen bed, 1 upper bed, and 1 trundle (pop-up) bed. 2 twin beds that convert to 1 queen bed and 1 upper bed.

Everything from the music in the hallway overhead speakers to artist-hosted mini golf competitions are tailored to create a sense of total musical immersion. Richards used to run a company called HARD that hosted multi-day music festivals in Los Angeles—the kind of event you could sell more tickets to, although that wasn’t always a good thing.
