70,000 Tons of Metal 2025! Killer Line-Up! Get your tickets now.



Have you gotten your tickets yet? Act soon because cabins are getting sold out!

For me, personally, this 2025 70K will be my ninth time going on the boat! I first attended 70K in 2015 and have been hooked ever since. I have attended (and take photos) on the boat without missing a year (minus the Covid closure).

It's hard to say which year of 70k was the best out of the eight I have already attended. I think the experiences add up over the years and there are always new inside jokes, meeting new friends from all over, and seeing your favorite bands. One great memory is when we docked in Cozumel, Mexico and everyone was in line to reboard the boat and they were chanting "Your boat sucks! Your boat sucks!" to the other cruise ship that was docked across from us.

From the bands, the trip, new places to visit and the costume day, this is not a metal event to miss!
