To pay your respects, simply board the air-conditioned coach and enjoy some of the man’s greatest hits as you make your way through Jamaica’s scenic rural countryside to reach your destination.

The return journey to the ship then brings the tour to an end. Please note: guests must be at least 18 years of age in order to participate.
