The 70000Tons of Metal cruise has just completed its 2025 journey, featuring artists such as DIRKSCHNEIDER, CANDLEMASS, HAMMERFALL, SEPULTURA, SEPTICFLESH, and many more, sailing from Miami, Florida, to Ocho Rios, Jamaica, aboard the Independence of the Seas. The organizers celebrated the return by announcing:

“Thank You to Survivors from 81 Nations Onboard 70000TONS OF METAL 2025”

With the 2025 cruise now concluded, the organizers wasted no time and immediately announced the dates and destination for the next voyage set to take place in 2026.

The 2026 70000Tons of Metal cruise will take place from January 29 to February 2, 2026, departing once again from Miami, Florida, but this time heading to Labadee, Haiti, a destination last visited in 2019. Special onboard events will include artist meet and greets, the 70000Tons of Karaoke event, the “Jamming in International Waters” session where band members perform classic Metal covers, the infamous belly flop contest, as well as music sessions from the artists.

There will also be many additional activities and amenities, including a spa, gym, waterslides, watersports, and exclusive activities with band members at the destination.

The artist lineup will be announced at a later date, so stay tuned if you want to become the next “survivor” of the 70000Tons of Metal cruise.
