Departing from San Juan, Puerto Rico, on December 5, the “Olas de Fuego: Nicky Jam x Virgin Voyages” voyage aboard Valiant Lady will visit Curaçao, Aruba, Dominica, Antigua and St. Maarten.
“I’m thrilled to bring my music and my culture aboard Virgin Voyages,” says Nicky Jam. “Being part of the Virgin Music Group family makes this collaboration even more meaningful. This voyage is a full celebration of Latin energy, the Caribbean and the people who make our music what it is.”
