Lineup to be announced
Over four thousand guests came together for a sold out ShipRocked 2023, the annual rock music vacation at sea, from January 22-28 onboard Carnival Magic. The cruise departed Port Canaveral, Florida and included visits to Half Moon Cay, The Bahamas, Grand Turk, TCI and a first-time stop at Amber Cove, Dominican Republic. ShipRocked 2023 featured dozens of performances from artists including co-headliners Falling In Reverse and Parkway Drive (first U.S. shows since 2019), along with Nothing More, Skillet, Suicidal Tendencies, Motionless In White, Bad Omens, grandson, Ayron Jones, Giovannie and the Hired Guns, The Stowaways all-star band and more, as well as special acoustic sets from artists including Keith Wallen (Breaking Benjamin), Corey Glover (Living Colour), and Emily Armstrong (Dead Sara).
Guests also enjoyed artist-hosted events and activities at sea and on the beach. In addition, the ShipRocked Cancer Sucks! onboard charity auction raised an incredible $125,000 for cancer research.
During the cruise, the highly anticipated 2024 ShipRocked dates and ports were revealed to guests via a video announcement as the ship sailed away from Florida. ShipRocked 2024 is set for February 4-10 onboard Carnival Magic out of Miami, Florida, with three new ports for ShipRockers — Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Bimini, The Bahamas and Grand Cayman. The ShipRocked 2024 music lineup will be announced in the coming months.
ShipRocked continues to grow each year — often selling out months in advance — and expanded to six days for its 13th sailing. ShipRocked returns as a six-day vacation again in 2024. Cabins often sell out well before the music lineup is announced.
ShipRocked 2023 included co-headliners Falling In Reverse and Parkway Drive, Afterlife, Andy Wood, Aranda, Ayron Jones, Bad Omens, Bones UK, BRKN LOVE, Corey Glover, Davey Suicide, Dropout Kings, D.R.U.G.S., Emily Armstrong, Fame On Fire, Giovannie and the Hired Guns, grandson, Islander, Jason Hook, Jeris Johnson, Joey Morrow, Keith Wallen, Lacey Sturm, Lilith Czar, Memphis May Fire, comedian Mike Abrusci, Moon Fever, Motionless In White, Nonpoint, Nothing More, Nova Twins, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Robot Monster, Sahaj Ticotin of RA, comedian Shayne Smith, Skillet, Suicidal Tendencies, The Messenger Birds, The Standstills, Wage War, Wargasm and Zero 9:36, along with The Stowaways all-star band.
A floating music festival, a rock & roll summer camp held in the dead of winter, a family reunion for the growing number of ShipRockers who have forged lifelong relationships out of a shared passion for music (and an occasional bucket of beer) – ShipRocked is the premier rock music vacation, offering dozens of performances and unique collaborations, artist-hosted events and activities, theme nights, artist photo meet & greets, and ample opportunity for fans and bands alike to unwind and create new friendships in tropical paradise. ShipRocked 2023 was hosted by guest favorite Cruise Director Cookie, along with Making Waves hosts Chad Nicefield and Justin Press.
