Rock the Realm
Hear ye, hear ye! The kingdom of rock beckons thee to embark on a seven-day odyssey of epic proportions aboard The World's Great Floating Music Festival, The Rock Boat XXV! Come forth and celebrate 25 years of revelry on the high seas with thy noble hosts, Sister Hazel. A grand feast of sound awaits, with unmatched collaborations and merry-making with thy favorite troubadours and rock champions. An experience bound to forge camaraderie fit for a king's court!
Prepare thyself, for a monumental round-trip journey from Miami, January 29 - February 5, 2026, to two unchartered ports, where Rock Boat banners have yet to fly, St. Maarten and San Juan, Puerto Rico. If thy calculations be true (seven minus two), that leaves five unbroken days upon the boundless seas, free of land's tether! A dream spun from the stars, crafted especially for the most loyal of Rock Boat royalty.
Thy floating fortress of rock, Norwegian Pearl, shall carry thee to and from. In addition to stacked programming on six stages, Pearl has an abundance of amenities fit for a monarch. Indulge like lords and ladies at one of the eleven dining options, rest thy weary bones in the enchanted spa, or should ye seek fortune, venture forth to the casino, where the roll of dice and the turn of cards could bring thee great riches!
Raise thy goblet; 'tis time to celebrate 25!

TRB Jubilee
It's a Royal Rewind! Rule the night in your vintage TRB gear!
Thursday, January 29
Pay tribute to all of the legendary Rock Boats! Dig deep into your closets and don your vintage TRB tees, bandanas, and gear from Rock Boats gone by— because this night is all about honoring the eras that built our rock kingdom. Whether it’s a shirt from your first sailing or a faded hoodie from “that one epic year”, wear your merch like a badge of honor. It’s a Rock Boat Renaissance — a day of nostalgia, pride, and power chords!
And hey, if anyone feels like layering a literal Renaissance vibe, this is the day to go all-out. Toss on a ruffled shirt. Add a dramatic cape. Braid your hair with ribbon. Channel your inner Renaissance rocker-poet-warrior. Because we’re not just reliving the past. We’re making it mythic.
Brand new TRB gear is be available NOW through November 3rd in The Rock Boat Presale Merch Store, for TRB first timers!
Decades Night
Time warp, no seatbelt.
Dust off your grungy flannel, tease your hair to the sky, or rock a poofy poodle skirt. Tonight, we’re cranking the time machine to full volume! Decades Night is your chance to flex those era vibes and party like it’s your favorite decade. So pick your poison, and dress the part!
Rocksgiving
A Tie-Dye Celebration of the Loud & Loyal!
Welcome to Rocksgiving, a made-up holiday (circa 2015) for the realest rock family on the planet... ROCK BOATERS! It’s a night to give thanks for killer riffs, lifelong friendships, and the community that keeps the music alive. The dress code? TIE-DYE EVERYTHING. Swirls, splashes, and psychedelic vibes! If it’s bold and bright, you’re doing it right. Let’s celebrate the loudest holiday ever invented! Your favorite pet rock may even be in attendance… 🙌
Mad Hatter
Your Head. Your Madness.
It’s time to tip your hat to madness! Whether it’s wild, whimsical, outrageously oversized, or simply stunning, tonight’s all about what’s on your head. From top hats to tiaras, helmets to halos. If it fits (or doesn’t), wear it with pride!
Backroads Royale
An infusion of southern grit and rock ‘n’ roll swagger!
An off-the-map affair where grit meets rock and denim is formalwear, boots mean business, and the king or queen might just be holding a shot of Jack.
For those who love group participation... Form your own biker gang for the evening. Rally your crew, pick a name, and lean into the look. Think leather vests, bandanas, vintage tees, ripped denim, patches, boots, and bold accessories. Whether your gang rides for classic rock or cosmic unicorns, it’s all about showing off what your group is into! Be creative, be loud, be you! (For the record, we fully expect to see a sloth gang – don’t let us down!)
Bring thy swagger, raise thy glass, and rule the night like the whiskey-soaked monarch thou art.
