Rock The Bells: A Hip-Hop Cruise will sail from Miami to Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau, Bahamas from November 13-17, 2024. The voyage marks the first time that Sixthman will produce a Hip-Hop cruise. The immersive, five-day Hip-Hop experience will include themed parties, meet & greets, rap karaoke, open mic nights and a plethora of artists taking the stage. 

The cruise will take place aboard the Norwegian Gem. This ship is full of spacious accommodations, ten unique dining options, multiple bars serving up the best libations, an on-board casino, pools and spa to elevate your vacation. Guests can also enjoy many shopping, relaxation or fitness-focused activities. 

“Keepin the heads ringing, Rock the Bells Cruise is back!,” said Sixthman CEO Jeff Cuellar, “Hip-Hop heads get ready for a bigger and more action-packed schedule that continues the tradition of celebrating the icons across all Hip-Hop culture while also looking ahead to the next 50 years.”
