Full Metal Cruise 2026 Part II on Mein Schiff 6 from Palma Confirmed

The Full Metal Cruise XIII Part II takes place from 6 to 11 October 2026 on the Mein Schiff 6 departing from Palma de Mallorca. The floating metal festival combines live concerts with a Mediterranean cruise visiting Palermo and Cagliari, offering live bands, a full supporting programme, and inclusive drinks on board. Prices start at approximately €1,499 per person.

The Full Metal Cruise has established itself since its premiere as a unique format for metal fans who wish to combine their passion for heavy music with a cruise holiday. Unlike traditional festivals, this event takes place on a cruise ship, where guests spend several days living, dining and celebrating in close proximity to the performing artists. The Part II edition in October 2026 is the second voyage of the XIII edition, offering an alternative route for those who have already experienced the first sailing or prefer a different travel schedule.

Route and Mediterranean Ports

The six-day voyage departs from Palma de Mallorca and calls at the Sicilian capital Palermo and the Sardinian city of Cagliari before the Mein Schiff 6 returns to Palma. This route allows participants to explore Mediterranean port cities alongside the concert programme. The Mein Schiff 6, a modern cruise ship, provides the full infrastructure of an ocean cruise, from restaurants and wellness facilities to multiple performance venues for the live acts.

What Participants Can Expect

The Full Metal Cruise concept combines daily live concerts by various bands with a comprehensive supporting programme specifically tailored to the metal community. All drinks on board are included – a distinguishing feature that sets the event apart from traditional festival formats. The atmosphere on the ship allows fans to experience their favourite bands in a relaxed environment and enjoy personal encounters that are rarely possible at land-based festivals.

Pricing starts at approximately €1,499 per person and varies depending on cabin category and amenities, up to a maximum of around €3,000. The booking includes the cruise, full board, drinks, and access to all concerts and programme events on board. Interested parties can purchase tickets through the official Full Metal Cruise channels.
