Organizers from the metal cruise, 70000Tons Of Metal, sent over this announcement about another impressive addition: After crossing the Atlantic we arrived in Tampa FL. The right place to read your own Obituary boys and girls! Welcome some real Florida Death Metal on board 70000TONS OF METAL, The World's Biggest Floating Heavy Metal Festival! 13 out of 40... our Skipper is getting restless, so we put out to sea again tonight. Our course: Back to the Florida Strait. Where may our next port of call be?
So far the confirmed 13 out of 40 bands are: Amon Amarth, Epica, Finntroll, Moonspell, Obituary, Raven, Saxon, Sodom, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Trouble, Uli Jon Roth and Witchburner
70000TONS OF METAL will sail Monday, January 24, 2011 aboard the Royal Caribbean "Majesty of the Seas" from Miami FL to Cozumel, Mexico and will not return you to the real world for four days until Friday, January 28, 2011.
Make no mistake, 70000TONS OF METAL is not your grandma's cruise. It's also not one of the cruises that share the ship with normal cruise guests. This is an all heavy metal cruise! Can you imagine that? A whole luxury cruise ship full of metalheads? And since there is no backstage area you will have the opportunity to mingle side-by-side with the artists in this incredibly fan-friendly scenario that has no comparison. It's like everyone has a backstage pass!
Ticket prices start at US$666 plus US$249 taxes and fees per person and include all on-board entertainment, all meals and non-alcoholic and non-carbonated drinks at the on-board restaurants and 24 room service!
