Take the Long Way Home
The Rock Boat XXVI is cleared for five-days of shows packed higher than your checked luggage! Expect artist encounters that go beyond the stage, and experiences so good they feel like part of the journey, not the plan. From the time we shove off, Norwegian Jewel officially becomes part floating rock terminal, part postcard-perfect station, part mile-marked open road. You’ll move through the ship like a departure board, hopping venues, chasing favorite bands, and finding new ones. Anchored by Sister Hazel, you’ll join a first-class community that came for the music and have stayed for everything that happens in-between.
Sailing February 2-7, 2027, with two stops that know how to set the mood: Key West, FL and Cozumel, Mexico. In Key West, expect colorful streets, an easygoing afternoon, plus a strong case for a mid-day cocktail. In Cozumel, think warm water, bold flavors, and just enough adventure to deepen the soundtrack of your vacation.
Please stow your worries in the overhead bin. Your destination is TRB!
ARTIST COLLABORATIONS
UNCHARTED STAGES
From once-in-a-lifetime jam sessions to unexpected partnerships, The Rock Boat is where iconic artists and rising stars collide. Expect musicians stepping out of their comfort zones, collaborating at sea, and creating moments you won’t find on any stage back home.
The first batch of (planned) collaborations will be featured on The Schedule at least 60-Days before sailing.
MEET & GREETS
TRAVEL IN FINE COMPANY
TRB brings you closer to your favorite artists than ever before, through a mix of thoughtfully planned meet & greets and the spontaneous moments that unfold simply by all sailing together. The entire sailing is a rare opportunity to connect beyond the stage; unforced, and personal.
Expect two scheduled Meet & Greets upon TRB XXVI with ample opportunities to organically interact with lineup artists all five-days at sea.
JUMP IN
HIGH SEAS LEISURE
Aboard TRB, Rock Boaters have the opportunity to connect with the artists through games, creative sessions, and curated experiences. Expect easygoing and interactive moments fueled by camaraderie.
Stay tuned for once-in-a-lifetime on-board experiences to be shared over the coming months!
FIT & FRESH
WELLNESS ON WATER
Wellness experiences side-by-side with the artists you sing-along to in your car. From guided movement to cardio, these opportunities offer a refreshing way to stay balanced on the high seas.
Expect wellness opportunities to be shared closer to sailing.
LYRICS FOR LIFE
GIVE ALONG THE WAY
Rock Boat’s charity of choice is Lyrics for Life; a nonprofit organization founded in 2002 by Sister Hazel to help fight childhood cancer. Money raised via the TRB community is donated to groups working to find a cure, as well as those aiming to enrich the lives of patients and their families.
Rock Boaters can contribute when booking their cabin for TRB XXVI or by winning an item during the Silent Auction while sailing.
FIRST-CLASS COMMUNITY
TICKET TO CONNECTION
The Rock Boat has been bringing together an unmatchable rock-loving community for going on 26 years. During each sailing, alumni years are recognized and milestone sailings (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25) we celebrate a little extra. Whether it’s your first time aboard or your twenty-sixth, you’re part of the story.
