The cruise, which has become a fixture in the heavy metal scene's calendar, will take place for the thirteenth time in 2026. But there's a new twist: instead of a single trip, there will be two. Both parts of the Full Metal Cruise XIII will be on the Mein Schiff 6 and will start and end in Palma de Mallorca. The first part of the cruise will take metalheads from October 1 to October 6, via Barcelona to Marseille and back again. Immediately following, from October 6 to October 11, the second part will set a course for Palermo and Sardinia.
The concept of the Full Metal Cruise is unique. It combines the relaxed vacation feeling of a cruise with the energy of a music festival. Bands and artists from the rock and metal scene perform on board. In the past, well-known acts like Kreator or Powerwolf as well as hard rock legends like Doro Pesch have been on board. This makes the event a diverse experience that goes far beyond pure heavy metal and appeals to a broad audience.
The Cruise Market is Booming
The Full Metal Cruise is not the only themed trip announced for 2026. The market for music cruises, especially in the metal and rock sectors, is growing. In North America, there are the well-known Monsters of Rock Cruise and the 70000TONS OF METAL, both of which sail in the Caribbean. TUI Cruises itself is expanding its offerings and will also send the electronic music cruise MeerBeats on tour on the same ship, the Mein Schiff 6. This shows that cruise lines are increasingly focusing on special musical experiences to attract new target groups.
If you are interested in the Full Metal Cruise 2026, it is worth keeping an eye on TUI Cruises' official channels. The booking start is expected soon.
