The cruise will set sail on January 19-25, 2025
ASK4 Entertainment has announced that the 2025 cruise itinerary for ShipRocked is set for January 19-25, departing from Miami, Florida on Carnival Magic, with stops at St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands (a new destination for ShipRockers) and Half Moon Cay in The Bahamas.
This year’s sold-out ShipRocked hosted over 4,000 guests from every US state and 16 additional countries on Carnival Magic during a six-day itinerary which departed from Miami and visited Ocho Rios, Jamaica and Bimini in The Bahamas, missing a scheduled port stop in Grand Cayman due to inclement weather in the region. The ultimate rock music cruise vacation features a different theme each year, with 2024 billed as “A ShipRocked Spooktacular.” ShipRocked’s mascot “Skully” changes his wardrobe each year to fit the theme.
Staterooms for ShipRocked 2024 sold out in an unprecedented three days, well before the music lineup was announced. Look for information on the ShipRocked 2025 on-sale soon at ShipRocked.com.
The music lineup for ShipRocked 2024 included I Prevail, Killswitch Engage, Beartooth, Highly Suspect, Badflower, Nonpoint, Black Stone Cherry, BRKN LOVE, Cassyette, Catch Your Breath, Crobot, Dayseeker, Dead Poet Society, Dorothy, Eva Under Fire, Fire From The Gods, From Ashes To New, Fury In Few, Hot Crazy, Luna Aura, Point North, Scene Queen, Sleep Theory, The Warning, Them Dirty Roses, Tigercub, Winona Fighter and Yonaka, along with special performances by Andy Wood Trio, Johnny Stevens of Highly Suspect, Josh Katz & Joey Morrow of Badflower, Keith Wallen of Breaking Benjamin and Matt James of Blacktop Mojo.
2024 also marked the return of guest favorite and former Carnival Cruise Director “Cookie,” who joined the ShipRocked team as a host.
The ShipRocked onboard schedule also included traditional cruise activities with a rock ‘n’ roll twist such as a blackjack tournament, dodgeball tournament, live band karaoke, singles mixers, trivia contests, and morning yoga.
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, and ample opportunity for fans and bands alike to unwind and create new friendships in tropical paradise.
Throughout the year, ShipRocked’s community of “ShipRockers”–as well as others from around the world–are staying connected via Making Waves – The ShipRocked Podcast, which launched in 2020 and is available for free through iTunes, Spotify and Google Podcasts. Making Waves features interviews with ShipRocked alumni artists, as well as other top music artists, actors and entertainment industry experts. It’s distributed via Sound Talent Media / Evergreen Podcasts and is hosted by Chad Nicefield and Justin Press.
