📋About

Rock Boat 2027: five nights of live music between Miami, Key West and Cozumel

For its 26th sailing, numbered XXVI, the music cruise run by Sixthman leaves Miami on 2 February 2027 aboard the Norwegian Jewel and docks back there early on the 7th. Along the way come a stop in Key West, another in Cozumel, Mexico, and two full days at sea.

Sister Hazel remain the hosts, and Walk The Moon are back as headliners. The bill counts 27 acts in total, including Switchfoot, Better Than Ezra, American Authors, The Strumbellas, The 502s, The Paradox and Bombargo: a rock and pop line-up where every band plays more than one set. Running orders only come out four to eight weeks before boarding.

Shows spread over six rooms: the pool deck (2,500 capacity), the tiered Stardust Theater (900), the Spinnaker Lounge (400) and three 200-capacity rooms, among them the stage tucked into "Bar City", the cluster of bars on deck 6. On top of that come two meet & greets, games and wellness sessions with the musicians, plus an auction for Lyrics for Life, the childhood-cancer charity Sister Hazel set up in 2002.

Budget at least $1,865 per person for an inside cabin shared by two, taxes and fees included; balconies and suites were sold out as of 21 October 2026. The fare covers the shows, the main restaurants, buffets and basic drinks, while alcohol (21 and over), soft drinks and flights cost extra. The port lies about twenty minutes from Miami airport, so aim to arrive before noon on departure day, and bringing a passport is advised. For more ideas around those dates, see February 2027 festivals.
