On The Blue Cruise Announces Monsters Of Rock & On The Blue Cruises For 2025

On the Blue Cruises, Inc., one of the leading music cruise experience producers over the past 20 years, has announced two groundbreaking music cruise experiences for 2025: Monsters of Rock Cruise and On the Blue Cruise will be sailing on Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the innovator in global cruise travel.

The annual Monsters of Rock Cruise (MORC), the world’s premier hard rock and heavy metal fan immersive music cruise sailing the high seas since 2012, returns for its thirteenth year this March 10th-15th. The five-day/five-night, full-ship music charter will set sail aboard Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Joy® for the first time in MORC history and depart from the Port of Miami, Florida. The voyage will include performances from over 35 artists (including Tesla, Night Ranger, Michael Schenker, Krokus, Extreme, Winger, Stephen Pearcy of RATT, Queensrÿche, and more), two unforgettable ports of call (Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau, Bahamas), and a variety of interactive events between artists and cruisers (including Artist/Cruiser Q&A sessions, Karaoke, “So You Think You Can Shred,” Cooking with Rock Stars presents Cupcake Wars, a new cast of Painting with Rock Stars, the comedy of Punchlines and Backlines, and more).

MORC ’25 will mark the largest rock music charter ever to be hosted on an NCL vessel and will feature the largest open air Pool Deck Stage ever assembled in the cruise line’s history. The ship will also host a new outdoor custom rock venue, Spice H2O, plus a unique festival venue, The Manhattan Room, created from one of the ship’s dining rooms.

The world’s greatest classic rock experience at sea, On the Blue Cruise (OTBC), returns August 22nd-29th. Hosted and headlined by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame artist Justin Hayward, the voice of The Moody Blues, and featuring an array of events and musical performances from over 25 artists (including Alan Parsons, Dave Mason, Starship featuring Mickey Thomas, Colin Blunstone from The Zombies, Al Stewart, and more), this seven-night, full-ship charter cruise will set sail aboard Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Gem® and depart out of Boston, Massachusetts. For the first time ever, the music charter will visit four ports along the Canada/New England shoreline (including Halifax and Sydney, Nova Scotia, Saint John, New Brunswick, and Portland, Maine). In addition to electrifying performances, the cruise will feature well-curated activities and events, such as artist photo experiences, themed-nights, Mellow Yellow Dance Party, Painting with Rock Stars, The Blue Note Dance Club, wine tasting events, and much more.
