70,000 Tons 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 to the real world for four days until Friday, January 28, 2011.

Make no mistake, 70000 Tons 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 100% Heavy Fucking Metal! Can you imagine that? A whole luxury cruise ship full of metalheads? 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 666 US$ plus 249 US$ taxes and fees per person. This includes all on-board entertainment, all meals, non-alcoholic and non-carbonated drinks at the on-board restaurants and 24 room service.
