Ahoi Cruisaders,

in just a few weeks we’ll set sail—and because more is never enough, we’ve added even more firepower to the lineup.

No stranger to the Cruise, Björn Strid is returning, this time bringing his Melodic Death Metal comrades Soilwork aboard the Mein Schiff 3. A new captain at the helm, perhaps?

Joining the charge are longtime FMC veterans: the Acoustic Guerillas, Alien Rockin’ Explosion, and the unstoppable Ballroom DJ Team—ready to keep spirits high alongside Saskia’s Metal Yoga and Sophie Wachter’s Metal Karate sessions.

But that’s not all—prepare for heavyweights like Joey Belladonna, unleashing timeless hits from his very own jukebox, and Henning Wanner with a powerful Savatage & Piano Ballads set. Add to that the legendary force of Rage and Uli Jon Roth, and the storm grows louder.

And while Sabina Classen and Ralf Richter captivate with spoken word, expect surprises when Maschine’s Late Night Show, Uwe Bahn, or Nori’s Tattoo FMC Pub Quiz take the stage—bringing an entirely different kind of mayhem.

With this crew, one thing is certain: you’re in the best hands the high seas of Metal have to offer.

Full Metal Cruise 2025—let’s raise the anchors and let it come!
