2026 Rock the Boat Cruise

Hurry before it sells out

What to expect

Following the immense popularity of 2025’s 7-night Rock the Boat, and Rock the Boat Vol. II which was released in October last year following Rock the Boat’s unprecedented sell-out 12 months in advance, we are launching Rock the Boat 2026 early to give guests who missed out the opportunity to secure their spot on board to avoid missing out.
 
Kings of Chaos featuring:
 
Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top - USA): The bearded blues-rock icon and guitarist behind classics like La Grange, Sharp Dressed Man and Tush. Gibbons’ signature Texas swagger and slide guitar make him one of rock’s most distinctive figures.
 
Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple - UK): Known as the "Voice of Rock," Glenn Hughes powered Deep Purple’s Mk III and IV eras, sharing lead vocals on Burn (1974), Stormbringer (1974), and Come Taste the Band (1975). His soulful, funk-infused bass helped reshape the band’s sound, especially on Come Taste the Band.
 
Robin Zander (Cheap Trick - USA): The powerful voice behind I Want You to Want Me and Surrender, Zander brings decades of power pop perfection and arena rock energy.
 
Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme - Portugal): A virtuosic guitarist and songwriter, best known for More Than Words and Get the Funk Out, Nuno is renowned for blending shred-level technique with funk-infused flair. 
 
Matt Sorum (Guns N’ Roses / The Cult - USA): Rock’s most in-demand drummer and founder of Kings of Chaos, Sorum helped define the thunderous sound of Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver, and The Cult, delivering decades of hard-hitting rhythms.
 
Phil X (Bon Jovi - USA): Bon Jovi’s current guitarist and a studio legend in his own right, Phil X has played with Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, and Triumph, fusing intensity with charisma on stage.
 
James LoMenzo (Megadeth - USA): Known as the bass monster for Megadeth, White Lion, and Black Label Society, LoMenzo brings a heavy groove and technical mastery.
