ShipRocked 2027 Embarks on the Voyage of the Ronin

Papa Roach, Ice Nine Kills, Nothing More, Highly Suspect, Badflower, Set It Off and Magnolia Park top the bill for ShipRocked 2027. Returning for its 17th year, the floating music festival will depart from Miami and visit Isla Tropicale in Honduras for the first time before sailing to Cozumel’s Yucatán Peninsula. Almost 30 bands make up the 2027 lineup that will rock 4,000+ cruisers aboard the Carnival Horizon. Before the cruise, ticketholders can enjoy a free pre-party concert on January 23 at The Hangar at Regatta Harbour with artists to be announced soon. ShipRocked sails January 24-30, 2027.

The theme for 2027 is a “ShipRocked Samurai”, with cruise director Cookie returning to host. The floating music festival serves as a family reunion of sorts for its fans – with ShipRockers showing up year after year to catch up with their friends and favorite rock/metal artists. ShipRocked is known for its wild performances and unique collaborations, but cruisers can also expect photo ops, meet & greets, artist-hosted activities, unforgettable theme nights, an onboard tattoo parlor, The Music Experience lounge and much more. Activities like ShipRocked Beach Wars, live band karaoke, singles mixers and heavy metal morning yoga allow bands and fans to forge new bonds, unwind and enjoy a tropical paradise together.

Aboard Carnival Horizon, ShipRockers can also enjoy a first-class spa, multiple bars and dining options, a water park and an IMAX Theater in addition to all the live music they can handle. 

“I’m positively buoyant about stepping back aboard and rocking the boat together,” says Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills. “ShipRocked is always a (killer) whale of a time!”
