With the fresh Cruisaders storming the decks on the Kiel Fjord, the steel fortress sets sail for the Baltic Sea!

Five days packed with brutal riffs, thunderous drums and untamed metal energy, all set against the cool Baltic Sea breeze, lie ahead.
The first day at sea is all about sheer ecstasy on the high seas.
Anyone looking to unwind after a night of heavy partying can find refuge at Metal-Wellness or on the sun deck – before the pool deck stage kicks off the next headliner’s earth-shaking set.

On day two, we will dock in Helsinki, Finland – the undisputed metal capital of the world! Finland has more metal bands per capita than any other country on Earth. As well as the city's famous landmarks, such as the snow-white cathedral and the rock-hewn Temppeliaukio Church, you can experience a vibrant music scene: visit legendary rock pubs such as Bar Bäkkäri, stroll across the bustling market square by the harbour, or sample Finnish specialities to fuel up for the next mosh pit.

The very next day, we arrive in Stockholm, Sweden. The royal capital stretches across 14 islands and offers a magnificent backdrop. Stroll through the narrow cobbled streets of the historic old town, Gamla Stan, visit the world-famous Vasa Museum, or immerse yourself in Swedish music history at the ABBA Museum. After taking in the fantastic views from the cliffs of Södermalm, it’s finally time to head back on board for the next musical extravaganza. The very last day at sea is upon us! Time to raise a glass with new friends over a cool drink, enjoy meet-and-greets with your favourite bands, and muster your very last reserves of energy in front of the stages. After five unforgettable days and nights, the cruise finally returns to the port of Kiel. For some, an epic adventure ends here – but for everyone, the memory of Europe’s loudest cruise will remain!
