The whole ship is a big backstage party where every fan is invited. We are excited to return and headline the cruise in 2016. See you on deck…"
SEETHER’s Shaun Morgan says, “I am absolutely stoked as hell to finally be part of ShipRocked! We have wanted this for so many years and now we get to play music on a cruise ship? F*ck yeah! People better bring their drinking hats and get ready for a serious party.”
HALESTORM’s Lzzy Hale says, "After years of us hearing stories from all of our peers about what a great time ShipRocked is...the time has come to experience it for ourselves! It's our first time, so please don't be gentle! See all you Freaks on the high seas!!!”
Produced by ASK4 Entertainment, the Ultimate Rock ‘N’ Roll Cruise will feature once-in-a-lifetime performances and musical collaborations during the roundtrip ocean voyage from Miami onboard Norwegian Pearl, with a day at port in Costa Maya, Mexico.

ShipRocked producer Alan Koenig of ASK4 Entertainment explains, “For ShipRocked’s ‘Lucky #7,’ we have a fantastic lineup that includes a mix of ShipRocked family favorites and first time performers. We’re very excited to return to Costa Maya on Mexico’s Yucatan coast for the first time since 2011, and are planning some new events and activities for guests to enjoy. We also have some special surprises in store!”
Costa Maya is a coastal paradise in the Yucatan that features stunning beaches with soft sand and blue skies. Excursions (for an additional cost) are offered to ancient Mayan ruins in this region, which is rich with archaeological sites. Other activities include snorkeling, scuba diving, ATV, jeep and dune buggy adventures, catamaran cruises, glass bottom boat rides, paddle boarding, and more.
Each ShipRocked is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that provides guests with the opportunity to vacation with their favorite bands, meet new friends, and reunite with old ones year after year. ShipRocked on-board and beach activities include photo meet and greets with band members, poolside games, artist Q&A sessions, trivia challenges, game shows, parties, contests and more.
During ShipRocked 2015, guests from around the U.S. and various other countries were treated to more than 50 performances from 25 artists on five stages aboard Norwegian Pearl--and on the spectacular beach stage of Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas--along with three days of meet-and-greets with ShipRocked artists, comedy and DJ sets, impromptu stage-side signings, and more. The 2015 ShipRocked Cancer Sucks! onboard charity auction raised nearly $80,000 towards funding innovative medical research and finding a cure for cancer.
Norwegian Pearl offers guests access to 13 bars and lounges, 19 dining experiences, one outdoor pool, four hot tubs, a fitness center, and a well-appointed spa. Those looking for more adventurous activities can bowl a few frames at the onboard lanes, shoot hoops on the sports court or tempt lady luck at The Pearl Club Casino.
In addition, cabins are on sale now for ShipRocked Summer Camp, a special mid-year reunion which takes place July 17-19 at “Camp ShipRocked” (aka Club Getaway), a cozy all-inclusive wilderness resort overlooking a sparking lake in the beautiful Berkshire Mountains of western Connecticut. Guests will stay in comfortable country cabins with air conditioning, private bathrooms and daily housekeeping. The vacation package includes all meals, with buffets, barbecues and delectable dinner cuisine prepared by chefs from the nearby Connecticut Culinary Institute. Campers will have a wide selection of onsite activities to choose from each day as well. For full details, visit www.campshiprocked.com.
