The Monsters of Rock Cruise is based on a legendary rock festival at Castle Donington, Leicestershire, England. Seven metal bands and thousands of rabid fans converged on the soggy turf of Donington Park and became part of rock history as a historic event was born … the Monsters of Rock! Fast forward to today, and the tradition of the Monsters of Rock continues, this time in the Bahamas aboard a luxury cruise ship, showcasing the greatest floating ’80s heavy metal festival in history!

For one all-inclusive price, fans will enjoy non-stop heavy metal concerts, events and activities, designed to please the most discerning rock ‘n’ roll metal-head. While the music is the centerpiece, this is more than a “concert cruise” event – it is specifically designed to encourage interaction between artists and fans. The fun will begin the moment fans begin to board the beautiful MSC Poesia, meeting new friends poolside during the kickoff Sailaway Concert.

This will set the tone for the next three days, as other over-the-top special events, including Artist Meet & Greets, Monsters Rock & Roll Prom 1987, Shotgun Wedding Vow Renewal, Monster Passenger Talent Contests, ’80s Hair Style Contest, Tattoo Contest, Rock Star Dating, Master Artist Clinics, plus many more events to be announced. As an added bonus, TV personality Eddie Trunk from VH1′s That Metal Show will moderate up close and personal Q&As with featured artists in Rock ‘N’ Roll War Stories. Rounding out the spectacular celebrity lineup are radio personalities Luc Carl from XM’s Hair Nation and Nikki Blakk from 107.7 FM “The Bone,” in addition to renowned rock ‘n’ roll photographer Mark Weiss.

The Monsters of Rock Cruise is a playground for the serious heavy metal fan where music and a luxury cruise hook up for the vacation of a lifetime. Rates for the cruise are available now starting at $899 per person (double occupancy). Visit monstersofrockcruise.com for full details and registration.
