The world’s most entertaining baseball team is once again taking its signature brand of fun to the open seas. The Savannah Bananas, in partnership with Sixthman, the leader in themed festivals at sea, have officially announced the return of Bananaland at Sea for 2026. Following the overwhelming success of the 2023 and 2024 editions, fans have been clamoring for another chance to experience the joy, chaos, and non-stop entertainment of Bananaland beyond the ballpark. Now, the wait is over.
Baseball Meets Cruise Life
The Bananas, known for their viral antics, high-energy games, and commitment to “fans first” entertainment, have redefined the sport in recent years. From TikTok-famous dance routines to innovative rules in their unique version of “Banana Ball,” the team has captured the imagination of millions around the world. With Bananaland at Sea 2026, they’re proving once again that their magic isn’t confined to stadiums.
Set to sail in spring 2026, the cruise will depart from Miami, Florida, and feature a four-night adventure through the Caribbean aboard a Norwegian Cruise Line ship. Guests can expect everything from live baseball-inspired shows and interactive fan experiences to theme nights, parties, and surprise performances.
“Bananaland at Sea is about taking everything fans love about the Bananas and amplifying it in a completely new environment,” said Jesse Cole, owner of the Savannah Bananas. “We always say it’s not about baseball — it’s about entertainment, connection, and joy. On a cruise ship, we get to do all of that 24/7 with our fans in the most unforgettable way.”
A Floating Bananaland Experience
During the cruise, passengers will be treated to a fully immersive Bananaland atmosphere. Highlights of the 2026 edition will include:
- Banana Ball at Sea: A shipboard exhibition game featuring the Bananas and their rival, the Party Animals, complete with wacky rules and hilarious twists.
- Meet-and-Greet Events: Fans will get personal time with players, coaches, and yes, even the Banana Nanas, the senior dance squad beloved by fans everywhere.
- Themed Deck Parties: From costume nights to karaoke battles, the cruise promises nightly events that keep the energy buzzing long after sunset.
- Behind-the-Scenes Panels: Storytelling sessions led by Bananas players and staff, offering fans a peek into the team’s journey and philosophy.
- Banana-Style Entertainment: Surprise concerts, comedy shows, and interactive games that make every corner of the ship feel like Bananaland.
Sixthman CEO Anthony Diaz expressed his excitement about the return: “Partnering with the Savannah Bananas is a natural fit for us because they embody the same spirit we bring to our cruises — creativity, community, and unforgettable experiences. Bananaland at Sea is not just a vacation; it’s a movement that celebrates joy and togetherness.”
Fan Anticipation Already High
The announcement has already sparked waves of excitement across social media. In true Bananas fashion, the news was delivered with a viral video featuring Jesse Cole in his signature yellow tuxedo, joined by players dancing on deck and tossing bananas into the ocean like confetti.
Fans responded immediately with posts like, “Bananas on land were wild… Bananas at sea? Count me in!” and “Already saving up for Bananaland 2026. No way I’m missing this one!”
Given that previous sailings sold out within days, anticipation for the 2026 cruise is expected to be even greater. Sixthman has confirmed that early booking opportunities will be available for past cruisers and members of the Bananas’ priority fan club.
More Than a Game — A Community
For the Savannah Bananas, Bananaland at Sea represents more than just expanding their brand — it reflects their mission to build a community rooted in fun and belonging. Whether on the diamond or at sea, the Bananas have always emphasized that fans are part of the show.
“This cruise isn’t about us performing and fans watching,” said Cole. “It’s about all of us creating memories together. Every person on board becomes part of the story.”
Looking Ahead
As the Savannah Bananas continue to grow their influence — from selling out tours across the U.S. to landing a hit documentary on ESPN+ and streaming platforms — Bananaland at Sea has become a crown jewel in their lineup of fan experiences. The 2026 edition is set to be their most ambitious yet, blending baseball, entertainment, and vacation into one once-in-a-lifetime package.
Tickets are expected to go on sale later this year, with pricing and itinerary details soon to be revealed. Fans are encouraged to sign up for updates on the Bananas’ official website and Sixthman’s platform to secure their spot before cabins vanish.
Conclusion
The Savannah Bananas have already proven they can turn a traditional sport upside down and reinvent it as a spectacle of joy and creativity. With Bananaland at Sea returning in 2026, they’re once again proving that their brand knows no boundaries — not even the shoreline.
As fans eagerly await booking details, one thing is clear: whether on the field or on the ocean, the Bananas are in the business of unforgettable memories. And in 2026, Bananaland at Sea promises to deliver just that — a cruise where fun, laughter, and community ride the waves together.
