Sixthman, the leader in festivals and music cruises for more than two decades, has announced the 25th anniversary of The Rock Boat, sailing January 29 – February 5, 2026 from Miami, FL to St. Maarten and San Juan, Puerto Rico aboard the Norwegian Pearl.
Hosted by Sister Hazel, The Rock Boat cruise features an exciting lineup including Needtobreathe, Judah & The Lion, The Struts, Matt Nathanson, Bowling For Soup, Red Wanting Blue, Stephen Kellogg and The Twenty-Twenty-Sixers, Carbon Leaf, The Alternate Routes, The Band Feel, The Return Of Melodime, Jon Tyler Wiley & His Virginia Choir, Bradley Rhodes, Brian Fechino & The Risky Beavers, Amy Gerhartz, The Paradox, and more to be announced soon.
“A quarter of a century ago we had a crazy idea to take some fans on a cruise,” says Sister Hazel frontman, Ken Block. “It was all as a ‘thank you’ to our most passionate fans for taking us from a van and trailer to our first platinum record. Year one – It was just us and we brought along one other act (our friends Dexter Freebish). But in an unforgettable instant – the minute we walked off that boat we absolutely knew we were onto something big. The gratitude we have that this event has lasted 25 years – and that it is as healthy today as any event has ever been – is beyond words. And it’s beyond our wildest dreams. We were basically kids when this thing started …. Now, we’re not QUITE kids anymore – but we bring that ‘kid like’ passion, enthusiasm, and excitement to every single element – of every single Boat! To celebrate 25 years of The Rock Boat we are going all out with our partners at Sixthman in every way possible to bring you all an unforgettable full SEVEN days of music and more!”
