The highly anticipated eighth edition of the 70000 Tons Of Metal cruise sails from Miami / Fort Lauderdale, FL to Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Islands and back on February 1st - 5th, 2018. Newly added to the performance lineup is Witchery and Samael. 

Thus far, 28 of 60 bands have been announced, and every band on board 70000 Tons Of Metal plays twice: Aeternam, Alestorm, Benediction, Cannibal Corpse, Dark Tranquillity, Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, Enslaved, Goatwhore, Gyze, In Extremo, Insomnium, Korpiklaani, Kreator, Metal Church, Meshuggah, Necrophobic, Obscura, October Tide, Primal Fear, Rhapsody, Samael, Septicflesh, Sepultura, Sonata Arctica, Swallow The Sun, Witchery, Wolfchant, and Wolfheart.

Ticket prices for the 2018 cruise start at USD 766.00 plus taxes and fees per person and include on board accommodation, access to all shows, meals, room service as well as port and service charges. Everyone on board is a VIP, and most importantly the bars on the ship never close!

“Every year I book a very diverse lineup trying to cover all sub-genres of heavy metal," says Andy Piller, The Skipper of 70000 Tons Of Metal. "The only thing that's even more diverse are our Survivors. Last year we welcomed metalheads from 74 (seventy-four!) different nations on board, making 70000 Tons Of Metal truly feel like the United Nations of Heavy Metal... at sea! Just imagine having people from all over the globe on the same ship. Origin, race, language, religion, lifestyle, all of that does not matter anymore. You can feel the vibe on board that everyone is equal. That's what makes me most proud about 70000 Tons Of Metal."
