From October 1st to 11th 2026, the Mediterranean Sea will be transformed into a boiling cauldron of metal as the Full Metal Cruise XIII rocks the waves with two spectacular events, bringing Europe's loudest cruise back to the southern shores!
Part I sets sail from Palma de Mallorca on October 1st 2026. From there, Mein Schiff 6 heads for the Catalan capital Barcelona and the southern French metropolis of Marseille, before returning to Palma on October 6th 2026. There, the first headbangers disembark and the next armada of black shirts comes on board. Those who do not remain on board for Part II will return to Majorcan soil and begin their journey home. For everyone else and all new Cruisaders, Part II will take them back out to sea.
The Mein Schiff 6 will depart from Palma on 6th October 2026. This time, the floating fortress of heavy metal will sail to Palermo in Sicily and from there on to Cagliari in Sardinia, before docking in Palma on 11th October 2026 with a final thunderous bang.
Six days packed with heavy riffs, powerful double bass salvos and an atmosphere thicker than any festival fog. The stages on board Mein Schiff 6 will make the ship shake, while the supporting programme of metal karaoke, comedy, readings, tattoos, cinema, metal wellness, meet-and-greets and workshops will leave no throat untouched and no neck unscathed.
Eleven days, two parts – Full Metal Cruise is back in the sea of metal!
Join the Cruise, Metalheads!
Of course, Mein Schiff 6 also invites you to simply enjoy its amenities: be it the pool deck, one of the well-stocked bars or one of the excellent restaurants. Nobody will be bored on the thirteenth Full Metal Cruise.
Particularly interesting for metal fans with extensive festival experience: on the Full Metal Cruise, meals in most restaurants are already included in the cruise price and all full-metal drinks are included. This means that beer, soft drinks, coffee, tea, non-alcoholic cocktails and various wines are free at all times - and from 6 p.m. there is also a large selection of spirits, cocktails and long drinks.
