ICA VOYAGE 2027 CRUISE
Your Home Away from Home at Sea
The ICA Voyage 2027 takes place aboard Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas—a spectacular Freedom-class ship that offers the perfect balance of business, connection, adventure, and relaxation.
For five days, this floating resort becomes our gathering place: a setting where important conversations happen, new relationships are built, and independent exhibitors have the opportunity to learn, recharge, and enjoy time together away from the everyday pace of running a theatre.
With dedicated meeting spaces, exceptional dining, entertainment options, and countless ways to relax or explore, Independence of the Seas provides the ideal backdrop for an unforgettable ICA experience.

The ICA Voyage departs Miami on Thursday, February 25, 2027, aboard Independence of the Seas, and returns Tuesday, March 2, 2027. Our itinerary combines dedicated conference time with two unforgettable Caribbean destinations.
Miami, Florida
The gateway to the Caribbean and our embarkation point, Miami offers convenient air access and the perfect launch point for the ICA Voyage adventure.
Cozumel, Mexico
Located just off Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, Cozumel is known for its turquoise waters, vibrant culture, and world-renowned coral reefs. Whether you choose to explore the island, enjoy a beachside afternoon, or simply relax with fellow attendees, Cozumel offers the perfect opportunity to continue conversations in a new setting.
Perfect Day at CocoCay, Bahamas
Royal Caribbean’s award-winning private island delivers the ultimate Caribbean escape. Spend the day relaxing on white-sand beaches, enjoying the island's incredible amenities, or connecting with colleagues in a setting designed for relaxation and unforgettable memories.
Arriving in Miami
We recommend arriving in Miami on Wednesday, February 24, the day before the ICA Voyage departs. Arriving a day early provides extra peace of mind, allows time to settle in, and ensures you're ready to begin the Voyage without the stress of same-day travel.
