Itinerary EXPERIENCE PUERTO PLATA & GREAT STIRRUP CAY
ON THE BEST ROCK MUSIC CRUISE
You’ve got your leather packed. You’ve cleared your schedule.
Now let’s break down this Rock N’ Roll odyssey.
This isn’t your typical vacation. This is the 2026 Monsters of Rock Cruise — a 5-night, full-throttle escape where the music festival cruise itinerary hits harder than a drum solo from ‘84, and every stop adds to your Rock N’ Roll story.
We’re talking nonstop hard rock music, bucket-list ports, and an onboard lineup so stacked it should come with a neck brace. Let’s crank the itinerary to 11.
DAY-BY-DAY: MUSIC FESTIVAL CRUISE ITINERARY
Depart: 4:00 PM
You board the Norwegian Joy, but let’s be real, the party starts the second your boots hit the gangway.
Expect welcome jams, sail-away sets, and your first taste of rock cruise daily events. You’ll be poolside with riffs in your ears and a drink in your hand before sunset.
Forget shuffleboard. This is full throttle from sunrise to last call.
• Multiple stages pumping hard rock music
• Bands tearing it up all day
• Q&As, contests, photo ops
• Theme nights, jam sessions, and pure madness
If you sleep through this day, you’re doing it wrong.

More live shows, artist-hosted events, and a sea of rock cruise daily events keep the amps fired up all day long.
