How to manually move GUI elements?

This is a potion of my code:

    topPanel = new JPanel ();
    subheading = new JLabel("CRUISES");
    description = new JLabel("Add or remove Cruises or click to assign a Cruise to a ship.");

    topPanel.add(subheading);
    topPanel.add(description);
    CruiseFrame.add(topPanel);
    CruiseFrame.setVisible(true)

Everything is working well, and upon running the above, I get the following result in my GUI:

"CRUISES Add or remove Cruises or click to assign a Cruise to a ship."

However, I wish to have the output as:

CRUISES
Add or remove Cruises or click to assign a Cruise to a ship.

I wish to have them on seperate lines, how do I go about this?

Thanks.

You can utilize simple HTML in Swing to style JLabels:

"<html>CRUISES<br> Add or remove Cruises or click to assign a Cruise to a ship.</html>"

Which will look like:

"CRUISES
Add or remove Cruises or click to assign a Cruise to a ship."

This might be better than using two JLabels, if it does meet the layout requirements.
