MIAMI, FL / LONDON, UK Children’s author and entrepreneur Princess Booker has officially announced an exclusive lineup of interactive family storytelling sessions aboard the upcoming Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise, sailing from 11–16 November 2026.
Fresh off the highly anticipated October 6 launch of her new Akashic Books title, Grandma, What’s That? Countdown to Christmas, Princess Booker will invite parents and children to join her for a daily travel adventure at sea. Each day, the family-focused interactive sessions will center around her popular children's book series, taking young explorers and their parents on a vibrant journey to a different country to discover new cultures, geographies, and heritages.
A Daily Journey of Discovery and Representation
Princess Booker, the granddaughter of Cedella Marley Booker and niece of music icon Bob Marley, built her Nine Mile Babies series to bridge the global gap in diverse children's literature. Aboard the cruise - founded by Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley - she will transform the family sessions into a daily passport to the world.
Parents and children will participate together in these interactive hours, exploring a new country every single day through rhythmic storytelling, cultural dialogue, and hands-on activities.
Launching Into a Massive Autumn Trajectory
The cruise voyage serves as a major post-launch event following the autumn release of Grandma, What’s That? Countdown to Christmas. While her newest holiday book will be widely available across global trade bookstores via Akashic Books and W.W. Norton, the cruise sessions highlight the depth of her entire library. Families inspired by the daily global journeys will be able to order her complete self-published backlist directly from the official Nine Mile Babies Website.
