Creed has announced the fifth installment of their Summer of '99 & Beyond Cruise, set to take place in April 2027. The cruise will sail from Miami to the Bahamas on the Norwegian Joy and feature performances from Creed as well as special guests like Breaking Benjamin, Hoobastank, Fuel, Our Lady Peace, and more. Fans who book early will have access to exclusive experiences like an acoustic set from Creed or a photo op.

Why it matters

The Summer of '99 & Beyond Cruise has become a highly anticipated annual event for fans of 90s and 2000s rock music. The cruise consistently sells out, demonstrating the enduring popularity of these artists and the demand for unique concert experiences beyond the typical festival or arena show.

The details

The 2027 cruise will depart Miami on April 17 and travel to Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas. In addition to two headlining sets from Creed on the pool deck, the lineup includes Breaking Benjamin, Hoobastank, Fuel, Our Lady Peace, Zach Myers of Shinedown, Sevendust, Fastball, Sponge, and Drowning Pool. The first 850 people to book a cabin will receive either an exclusive 30-minute Creed acoustic set, a 30-minute Q&A with Breaking Benjamin, or a photo op with Creed.
