Sharpen your katanas and prepare your combat boots. The most anticipated lineup in the heavy seas has officially arrived.
After a record-breaking sell-out for the 2026 voyage, the “Ultimate Rock Music Cruise” is doubling down for its 17th mission. Sailing January 24-30, 2027, from Miami to Mahogany Bay (Roatan, Honduras) and Cozumel, Mexico, the ShipRocked Samurai theme is bringing a roster of heavy hitters that will make the Carnival Horizon shake to its hull.
The Shoguns of the Sea
Leading the charge is none other than Papa Roach, returning for their 4th appearance to claim the throne. They are joined by the cinematic horror-rock masters Ice Nine Kills and the powerhouse intensity of Nothing More.
The heavy-hitting top tier also features:
- Highly Suspect (2nd Appearance)
- Badflower (5th Appearance)
- Set It Off (Debut Appearance)
- Magnolia Park (Debut Appearance)
Fresh Blood and Fan Favorites
ShipRocked has always been about the perfect mix of legends and the next generation of rock. This year’s “alphabetical mayhem” includes a massive list of debuts and returning survivors, including aurorawave, Des Rocs, Upon A Burning Body, WARGASM, and the high-octane TX2.
And of course, it wouldn’t be ShipRocked without the legendary all-star band, The Stowaways. Expect the usual “you-had-to-be-there” collaborations and surprise guests that make this cruise the most unique festival on the planet.
Beyond the Music
With the ShipRocked Samurai theme, fans are encouraged to trade their leather for neon-soaked Shogun aesthetics. Between the multiple sets from every band, you’ll have:
- Artist-Hosted Activities: From Beach Wars to high-stakes tournaments.
- Theme Nights: Dress to impress (or distress) across the six-day voyage.
- The Ship: The Carnival Horizon returns, featuring an onboard tattoo parlor, a world-class spa for post-pit recovery, and the infamous IMAX theater.
The ZRock Verdict
If you haven’t booked yet, you’re playing a dangerous game. ShipRocked is currently operating on a Waiting List basis. With a lineup this stacked and a maiden voyage to Mahogany Bay on the horizon, this isn’t just a vacation – it’s a rite of passage.
