The Summer Of ’99 & Beyond Cruise is returning in 2027, and Scott Stapp and company have put together their most stacked lineup yet for what will be the fifth sailing of the fan-favourite rock event at sea.

In partnership with Sixthman, the leader in festivals and music cruises for more than two decades, and set for April 17–21, 2027, the cruise departs from Miami aboard the Norwegian Joy, bound for Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas — and this time, very special guests Breaking Benjamin will join Creed at the top of a bill that reads like a greatest-hits playlist of late-’90s and early-2000s hard rock.

Sevendust, Hoobastank, Our Lady Peace, Hinder, Fuel, Drowning Pool, Fastball, Sponge, The Flys, and Ashes Of Billy round out the announcement, with more names still to come. Zach Myers of Shinedown will also appear, while Eddie Trunk and DJ Rock Feed return as hosts.

Creed — Scott Stapp, Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall, and Scott Phillips — will headline with two pool deck sets. Given that all four previous editions sold out completely, anyone with even a passing interest in nabbing a cabin should move fast.

Alumni pre-sales open April 30–May 1 and May 4–5. First-round presale signups close May 4 at 11:59 p.m. ET, with final-round signups wrapping May 11. Public on-sale begins May 13 at 2:00 p.m. ET at summerof99cruise.com. A $100 saving is available during the presale window, with prices rising on May 13.

The first 850 cabins booked also get a choice of perks: an exclusive 30-minute Creed acoustic set, a photo with the band, or a 30-minute Q&A with Breaking Benjamin — subject to availability.

Beyond the onboard experience, cruisers will have the chance to enjoy a shore excursion to Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, an idyllic private island paradise known for its white sand beaches and clear blue waters. Guests who purchase a beverage package will be able to use it for all-inclusive drinks on Great Stirrup Cay. Please note: Shore excursions will not be available until 4-6 weeks before sailing. Cruisers will be able to book an excursion upon receipt of their reservation number.

Creed‘s post-reunion momentum has been impossible to ignore. Since officially reforming in July 2023, the band logged more than 60 dates in 2024, another 30 in 2025, and headlined their own two-day land festival — all while pulling record crowds. Their catalogue remains extraordinary on paper: Human Clay (1999) is RIAA diamond-certified with over 11 million U.S. sales, placing them in company with Van Halen, Guns N’ Roses, and Metallica. Weathered (2001) debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. A reunion that hasn’t been about nostalgia, but more about a genuine return to form.

The cruise format suits them perfectly. It gives the band room to breathe, and gives fans a weekend-long immersive experience that a standard arena show simply can’t replicate.

Even if you say you’re very sorry for adapting Nazi imagery and making a song called “Heil Hitler,” certain European countries might not be eager to invite you in. That’s the lesson that Kenye West is learning right now. West has a European stadium tour coming up, and he was initially announced as the headliner for all three nights of London’s Wireless Festival. But the UK government denied entry to West, and the festival was canceled. After French authorities voiced similar intentions, West announced that he would postpone a planned Marseilles show “until further notice.” Today, a stadium in Warsaw scrapped plans for another Kanye West concert.
