After five consecutive SOLD OUT events, the organizers are gearing up for Round 6 of 70000 Tons Of Metal. The self-proclaimed "World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise" will sail on Thursday, February 4, 2016 from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale near Miami, FL and will not return to the real world until Monday, February 8, 2016.

In today's expanding market of music themed cruises, 70000 Tons Of Metal always was and is the leading light of a new trend. It's not enough that this floating festival will sail on one of the biggest cruise liners on the planet, the 154,000ton Independence Of The Seas, but you will also get unrestricted festival access to all live shows on board, not just one show per band with assigned seating based on which cabin category you booked. And with 60 Bands on board, representing every genre of metal, you get access to 120 shows.

Two full days at Sea and the opportunity to mingle side-by-side with your favorite artists on a floating luxury resort in the middle of the Caribbean. This event truly has no comparison and since there are no VIP areas it's like everyone has a backstage pass!

Just as in prior years, there will be the ever so popular Metal Karaoke until sunrise, as well as Clinics and Work Shops with the musicians. The infamous Belly Flop Contest and "Jamming In International Waters", the 70000 Tons Of Metal All-Star Jam will return in 2016 as well. Since the last day of the cruise will coincide with the 2016 NFL Super Bowl, plans have been made to screen the event live on board the ship as well.

Sailors on the 2015 cruise liked going to Jamaica so much that the organizers decided to go back. However, next year's port of call will be Falmouth, Jamaica, which offers a wider range of shore excursions than ever before. 70000 Tons Of Metal also moved to a new ship. Royal Caribbean's Independence Of The Seas is the younger sister ship of this year's Liberty Of The Seas and offers everything you could dream of having on your floating Heavy Metal Paradise. Check out the ship facts and see for yourself.
