The ShipRocked cruise festival will return in 2027 for its 17th edition, sailing from January 24 to 30 aboard the Carnival Horizon departing from Miami, Florida. The event will feature nearly 30 bands and more than 4,000 attendees, with stops in Mahogany Bay, Roatán (Honduras), and Cozumel, Mexico.
The first wave of artists includes Papa Roach, Ice Nine Kills, Nothing More, Highly Suspect, Badflower, Set It Off and Magnolia Park, alongside a wide range of emerging acts. Additional artists and The Stowaways special guest lineup will be announced in the coming weeks.
Produced by ASK4 Entertainment, ShipRocked continues its hybrid format between music festival and cruise experience. Beyond live performances, the program includes meet & greets, artist-hosted events, themed nights and activities such as tournaments, live band karaoke and sports competitions.
The concept blends traditional cruise elements with a rock and metal-focused community experience, offering continuous programming throughout the journey. Featured activities include ShipRocked Beach Wars, blackjack tournaments, trivia, morning yoga and interactive fan-artist sessions.
The 2027 edition will include a first-time stop at Mahogany Bay, expanding its Caribbean route, while Cozumel reinforces the event’s connection to Mexico within its itinerary.
In addition to music, ShipRocked maintains a strong charitable component. During the 2026 cruise, its annual auction raised $200,000, bringing the total to over $1.2 million for medical research and cancer-related causes.
