Sixthman, the leader in festivals and music cruises for 25 years, has announced The Rock Boat XXVI, sailing February 2-7, 2027, from Miami, FL to Key West, FL, and Cozumel, Mexico aboard the mighty Norwegian Jewel. Hosted as always by Sister Hazel, the 26th sailing of the World’s Greatest Floating Music Festival will feature an exclusive headline performance from WALK THE MOON – the RIAA Platinum-certified band’s only currently announced live date.
First Round Presale Signups are available now through March 8 at 11:59 pm (ET). Presales for The Rock Boat Alumni will be available February 18-March 10; Presales (Early Booking Times) are available March 11-13; a special Presale for members of the official WALK THE MOON Fan Club will be available March 10-11.

Savings of $100 are available during the presale; prices will increase on March 13 at 2:00 pm (ET).
With Sister Hazel at the helm, The Rock Boat has delivered unprecedented musical adventure at sea for more than a quarter century, with intimate performances, once-in-a-lifetime jam sessions, and interactive artist encounters that take its unmatched rock-loving community far beyond the stage. The Rock Boat XXVI will see Sister Hazel and WALK THE MOON joined onboard by an amazing lineup of iconic artists and rising stars including Switchfoot, American Authors, Barns Courtney, The Strumbellas, Red Wanting Blue, The Paradox, Hero The Band, Bombargo, Kristy Lee, LOVESWEAT, a special performance by WALK THE MOON’s Nicholas Petricca, and more to be announced. The fully immersive schedule of events will present an array of specially curated activities, including friendly competitions, meet & greets, wellness experiences, and much more. The Rock Boat XXVI once again proudly supports Lyrics for Life, a non-profit organization founded in 2002 by Sister Hazel, to help fight children's cancer. All money raised by the TRB community will benefit groups working to find a cure, as well as those aiming to enrich the lives of patients and their families.
The spectacular Norwegian Jewel will pull out all the stops to ensure The Rock Boat XXVI is the floating festival’s most immersive cruise thus far, with Norwegian’s signature world-class dining options and endless amenities spanning fully stocked bars at (almost) every corner, the Pool Deck (with multiple hot tubs), the Jewel Club Casino, Mandara Spa, Body Waves Fitness Center, Sports Court, and much more.
Beyond the onboard experience, TRB cruisers will have the chance to enjoy an easygoing afternoon on the colorful streets, cultural diversity, and historic architecture of Key West, FL as well as an unforgettable visit to Cozumel, Mexico, renowned for fantastic fishing, diving opportunities, and historic Mayan ruins.
“Who does anything for 25 years? We feel so grateful that people have trusted us to provide them with a space they can recharge, renew, rejuvenate, and reconnect, and I was lucky enough to connect myself with a team of people that also felt like we needed to build a world that we could live in. The Rock Boat world reflects every aspect of that - with kindness, with humanity, with music, with camaraderie, with food, with magical spontaneity, with collaboration,” said Ken Block, lead singer of Sister Hazel.
“That is what I’m proudest of as we celebrate 25 years of The Rock Boat, and we’re just getting started. It’s as healthy an event as it has ever been, and I can’t wait for XXVI!”
