ShipRocked 2026, the raucous music cruise that sails from Miami to The Bahamas, will take place January 25-31 aboard Carnival Horizon. The cruise will have stops in Nassau, Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key – Carnival’s soon-to-be opened private cruise port on Grand Bahama island. Every year, ShipRocked sets a theme and 2026’s will be “A ShipRocked Odyssey”. Cruisers can expect a variety of activities as well as live music performances of mythical proportions.
For 2025, ShipRocked celebrated its 15th cruise with a “retro paradise” 80s theme aboard Carnival Magic. As the ship sailed from Miami and stopped at St. Thomas and Half Moon Cay, guests enjoyed roaring live music performances, artist-led events, meet and greets and the annual performance from The Stowaways all-star band. 2025’s cruise gave us amazing performances from Hollywood Undead, Atreyu, P.O.D., Nothing More, The Struts, Parkway Drive and more. We also discovered some new-to-us musicians during the cruise, like Plush, a young femme foursome that rocked hard during their theater performance on day one.
Most ShipRockers are repeat attendees and always get really into the themed nights aboard the ship. It’s a family reunion of sorts that we look forward to attending every year. ShipRocked always sets the bar high for the other performances we will see throughout the year. While the lineup has not been released yet, we can expect it to be great as many of the bands from previous years return to rock again.
