Ahoy, Late-90s Rock Enthusiasts!
Hold onto your flannel shirts and sunscreen – GRAMMY-winning poster boys of angsty arena rock CREED are making waves again with their Summer Of ’99 & Beyond Cruise. Partnering with SIXTHMAN (the OG cruise overlords since we were all using dial-up), they’re commandeering the swanky Norwegian Joy from Miami to the Bahamas April 17-21, 2026. Pro tip: Pack extra hair gel – three previous editions sold out faster than you can say “scroll to Remember Vine?”
🎟️ Presale Shuffle:
– Alumni sailors: April 23-24 (watch those spam folders!)
– Newbies: Sign up April 25-30
– General sale: May 2 @ 2PM ET
$100 down keeps your cabin from going “My Own Prison” ⚓
The lineup’s bigger than Scott Stapp’s 2004 ego (kidding!):
- CREED doing two pool deck shows (hydration mandatory)
- 90s legends 3 DOORS DOWN (“Kryptonite” might hit different at sea)
- COLLECTIVE SOUL (still shining after 25+ years)
- FILTER bringing that “Hey Man, Nice Shot” energy
- The always-iconic LIVING COLOUR (fun fact: first black band to win a Best Hard Rock Grammy!)
- Plus 12 STONES, BLACK STONE CHERRY, and more TBA
Hosted by metal’s answer to Wikipedia, EDDIE TRUNK, and THE POWER HOUR crew. Between concerts, you can:
- ♪ Debate if “Higher” is about spirituality or Stapp’s hair height
- ♨️ Soak in hot tubs with strangers who know all Creed lyrics (bathroom breaks not included)
- 🍹 Test how many Bahama Mamas it takes to enjoy karaoke night
Essential Useless Knowledge:
– COLLECTIVE SOUL’s “Shine” was originally called “Ohhh Chicken” in demo form (look it up!)
– LIVING COLOUR’s “Cult of Personality” guitar riff was played on a $50 pawn shop guitar
– FILTER’s “Hey Man, Nice Shot” was allegedly written about a politician’s televised suicide… but we’re here to party!
New for ‘26: No-shower karaoke brunches (we assume) and drink packages that work on Great Stirrup Cay’s pristine beaches. Because nothing says “rock star” like piña colada IV drips at 11AM.
By the Numbers:
– 53 MILLION albums sold (enough to pave a highway from Miami to the Bahamas)
– 11-year hiatus between shows (longer than most cruise passengers’ marriages)
– 29 HOURS to sell out ‘24 cruise (apparently faster than “My Sacrifice” gets stuck in your head)
Disclaimer: Sixthman isn’t responsible for 1) Post-cruise lyric tattoo regrets 2) Recurring My Own Prison earworms 3) Poker face failures when Scott Stapp rocks the white Henley. Again.
