70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World’s Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise offers Metalheads a life-changing experience in an incredibly fan-friendly scenario that has no comparison. Boasting the biggest Open Air Stage structure to ever sail the Open Seas, 70000TONS OF METAL gives Sailors unrestricted festival access to all 120 live shows by 60 unique Artists on board.

Everyone sailing is a VIP, they spare no expense to remove seating in the theatre so that fans can create a mosh pit at sea (this is a Heavy Metal Cruise after all), and most importantly… there are bars that never close – you heard that right, bars that never close!

Round 7 Sails to Labadee

70000TONS OF METAL will sail February 2 – 6, 2017 onboard Royal Caribbean’s luxurious Independence Of The Seas which will be leaving from Ft.Lauderdale, Florida to an all new Caribbean dream destination: Labadee, situated on the northern coast of Haiti, featuring pristine beaches, coral reefs and lagoon-like bays surrounded by forested mountains.
