Europe’s loudest cruise is back, and this time it’s roaring through the Mediterranean. Full Metal Cruise XIII returns from 1–11 October 2026, transforming the turquoise seas into a storm of riffs, rebellion, and rock glory aboard Mein Schiff 6.
The Loudest Voyage Returns
After years in the Baltic, the planet’s heaviest cruise heads south—departing from Palma de Mallorca with two back‑to‑back voyages that can be booked individually or combined into one epic, 11‑day odyssey.
Part I (1–6 October) shreds through Barcelona and Marseille, both cities steeped in underground energy and metal heritage. Part II (6–11 October) dives deeper into the Med with stops in Palermo (Sicily) and Cagliari (Sardinia) before crashing back into Palma for one final, thunderous encore.
Each itinerary delivers its own flavour of mayhem—from Marseille’s tattooed laneways to Palermo’s gothic catacombs—while at sea, Mein Schiff 6 becomes a floating festival where the decks themselves pulse to the sound of amplifiers.
A Floating Fortress of Metal
Forget everything you know about cruising—Mein Schiff 6 becomes a full‑scale metal arena on water. Expect multiple stages, all‑night shows, and exclusive sets from headliners including Alestorm, Destruction, The Baboon Show, Victory, Ozzyfield, and Best of Full Metal Cruise. Between gigs, DJs, jam sessions and late‑night metal karaoke keep the energy surging from dawn till well past midnight.
Just like any true festival, the extras hit hard:
- Meet & Greets with artists and hands‑on workshops for musicians
- Tattoo parlours and metal‑style fitness sessions
- Karaoke nights, film screenings, comedy acts and “metal wellness” programs
- Access to Mein Schiff’s spa, pools and fitness zones — plus unlimited meals and drinks included
Bookings and Pricing
Demand is expected to shatter records when bookings open on 7 October 2025 via a digital waiting room on the official Mein Schiff site. Fares start at €1,499 per person in an inside cabin for each five‑day voyage or €2,998 for the full 11‑day metal marathon.
Whether you sail one leg or both, Full Metal Cruise XIII delivers the ultimate soundtrack to freedom—a chance to scream, thrash and celebrate the metal community beneath Mediterranean skies.
Ready to Rock the Med?
Full Metal Cruise XIII isn’t just a holiday—it’s a pilgrimage for metalheads. As the engines fire and amps ignite, Mein Schiff 6 will once again make the Mediterranean shake. No faint hearts—just fans, friends, and fury at sea.
