Matt Rife Sets Sail With First-Ever Comedy Cruise: Suite Rife On Deck Launches in 2027

Matt Rife is taking his comedy to an entirely new stage—the open ocean. The record-breaking comedian and actor has announced Suite Rife On Deck, his first-ever comedy cruise, giving fans the chance to spend four days at sea filled with stand-up, live music, exclusive events, and unforgettable experiences alongside one of comedy’s biggest stars.

Sailing February 10-14, 2027, the four-night voyage departs from Miami, Florida, aboard MSC Poesia with a tropical stop in Grand Turk. Produced in partnership with Cloud 9 Adventures and 100x Hospitality, the cruise promises much more than a traditional comedy show, creating an immersive vacation centered around laughter, entertainment, and fan interaction.

Matt Rife will headline the sailing with multiple appearances throughout the voyage, but he’s bringing plenty of friends along for the ride. The impressive comedy lineup includes Craig Robinson, Nate Jackson, Lukas Zelnick, Erik Griffin, Finesse Mitchell, Shapel Lacey, Ian Edwards, April Macie, Paul Elia, Martin Amini, David Lucas, Jackson McQueen, Clayton Thomas, Janet McNamara, Erica Rhodes, Cam Bertrand, Matt Lopes, and Doug Key.

The entertainment doesn’t stop with stand-up performances. Guests can also enjoy live music from Blake Whiten, along with DJ sets from Cosmo Baker, DJ Rock, and DJ Spider, keeping the party going throughout the cruise.

One of the biggest draws of Suite Rife On Deck is the opportunity for fans to interact with the performers beyond the stage. The voyage kicks off with a special “Welcome Roast Toast” sail-away celebration hosted by Matt Rife and fellow comedians, with additional onboard programming and activities scheduled throughout the cruise. Rather than simply attending a show, guests will experience a weekend filled with comedy, music, and unique moments alongside the talent.

Fans looking for an extra-special experience will want to book early. The first 500 cabins reserved will include an exclusive meet-and-greet and photo opportunity with Matt Rife during the sailing.

Each cruise package includes stateroom accommodations aboard MSC Poesia, access to the ship’s amenities, admission to comedy performances, onboard entertainment, and time to explore the beautiful island of Grand Turk. A complete performance schedule and activity lineup will be announced closer to sailing.

“Suite Rife On Deck is about creating an experience that goes far beyond a comedy show, giving fans the opportunity to spend four unforgettable days immersed in Matt’s world,” said Dan Berkowitz, CEO of 100x Hospitality. “We’re excited to partner with Matt and Cloud 9 Adventures to bring people together through comedy, connection, and a truly unique vacation experience.”

Registration is open now, with cabins going on sale to the general public at 1:00 p.m. ET on July 28, 2026. Register for the cruise here.

For fans of Matt Rife—or anyone looking for a vacation that combines comedy, live entertainment, and a Caribbean getaway—Suite Rife On Deck is shaping up to be one of 2027’s most unique cruise experiences. From headline stand-up performances and exclusive fan events to tropical island adventures and late-night parties, this sailing promises four days of nonstop laughs on the high seas.
