The Norwegian Jewel will provide everything needed to make Jay & Silent Bob’s Cruise Askew the most spectacular cruise vacation possible, with fully stocked bars at (almost) every corner, tasty dining options, the Pool Deck (with multiple hot tubs), the Jewel Club Casino, Mandara Spa, Body Waves Fitness Center, Sports Court, and much more.

Beyond the onboard experience, Clerks, Mallrats, and Funployees will have the chance to enjoy the local culture and crystal waters in Costa Maya, Mexico.

ABOUT JAY & SILENT BOB:

Jay & Silent Bob are the iconic stoners known primarily for leaning on the wall outside of Quick Stop Groceries in Leonardo, NJ. Since their debut in 1994’s Clerks, the characters played by Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith have appeared in eight feature films, an animated series, and a cartoon movie. For 25 years, they’ve had their own comic book store called Jay & Silent Bob’s Secret Stash in Red Bank, NJ. And in 2019 Kev and Jay were immortalized in Hollywood alongside way-more-famous peers when they cast their footprints and handprints in the cement of the legendary courtyard at the TCL Chinese Theater (close to their old Mallrats buddy, Stan Lee!)

 

ABOUT VIEW ASKEW:

Started in 1993, View Askew Productions is the birthplace of all the Askewniverse flicks – a series of interconnected films that existed way before the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies but made way less money than the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. (That the Askewniverse stole their idea from Marvel Comics in the first place is irritatingly irrelevant, True Believer!) In order of theatrical release, the Askewniverse film cannon is made up of Clerks (1994), Mallrats (1995), Chasing Amy (1997), Dogma (1999), Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back (2001), Clerks II (2006), Jay & Silent Bob Reboot (2019), and Clerks III (2022). There was also a short-lived Clerks cartoon (2000) as well as various comic book series and an ungodly amount of merchandise.

 

ABOUT SMODCO:

Born at the dawn of the age of podcasting, SmodCo covers everything outside of the Askewniverse epics, including the sprawling podcast empire, the touring live shows, the stand-up specials, and divisive feature flicks Red State (2011), Jay & Silent Bob’s Super Groovy Cartoon Movie (2013), Tusk (2014), Yoga Hosers (2016), and The 4:30 Movie (2024).

ABOUT SIXTHMAN:

Sixthman festivals tear down walls between artists and fans by creating community-inspired vacation experiences at resorts and at sea. Since 2001, Sixthman has set the stage for moments that make life rock, serving over 470,000 guests on over 205 unforgettable vacations on sand and at sea with their favorite artists, athletes, actors, comedians, and brands. These carefully curated, intimate events bring non-stop performances, artist collaborations, in-depth panels, Q&As, fan-artist activities, museums, and overall, truly immersive experiences that celebrate community and change expectations of what a vacation can be. Sixthman’s domestic homeport of Miami brings escapes for guests to dream destinations in the Virgin Islands, Belize, Honduras, Mexico, and The Bahamas. In 2019, Sixthman expanded its festivals at sea to Europe, sailing from Barcelona, Spain to exotic Mediterranean ports and then from Athens through the Greek Isles in 2022. In addition to festivals at sea, Sixthman has taken its innovative vacation concept to world-class, all-inclusive resorts in the Dominican Republic and Mexico. In 2020, Sixthman Services was launched to support other event holders with a suite of on-site and virtual event management services and enhanced experiences. 2025 is poised to be a record year in terms of the number of events and expansion into new verticals.
