ShipRocked’s Sweet 16 Features Halestorm, Motionless In White & Knocked Loose

25+ bands will perform at ShipRocked’s Greek mythology-themed cruise, taking place from January 25-31, 2026. The floating music festival, produced by ASK4 Entertainment, will board the Carnival Horizon in Miami and visit Half Moon Cay, Celebration Key and Nassau in The Bahamas. 

“As we prepare for the epic 16th sailing of ShipRocked, celebrating the ancient Greek gods of the sky, sea, travel, food, wine, music, and more, we are beyond excited to Rock Hard and Vacation Harder with an incredible lineup of music artists–who are all gods in our eyes!,” says Alan Koenig, ShipRocked producer and creator. 

“We can’t believe ShipRocked is trusting us to co-captain this rig, but god damn The Pirates of the Caribbean are gonna look like a joke when we’re done with it,” said Chris Motionless of Motionless In White. “Very honored to be back at sea with our ShipRocked family!”

Additional artists will be announced at a future date. Special performances from the all-star supergroup The Stowaways will also take place. 

In addition to non-stop music, ShipRockers can enjoy a variety of traditional cruise activities with a rock ‘n roll edge. Some fan favorites are the ShipRocked blackjack tournament, live band karaoke, and trivia contests, but that’s not all to be expected onboard. Attendees may come for the unique performances and collaborations they’ll witness, but the most special part of this rock & roll cruise is that it truly feels like a family reunion. Many ShipRockers have forged lifelong friendships that exist when they’re on dry land, too.
