Choose Your Cruise, Australia’s leading music cruise festival company is thrilled to announce Rock the Boat 2025, Vol. II, an additional 3-night cruise from Sydney due to the overwhelming popularity of Rock the Boat 2025, which has officially sold out.

Set to embark on October 26-29th, 2025, aboard the luxurious Carnival Luminosa, Rock the Boat 2025, Vol. II promises a unique, unforgettable experience featuring over 25 rock artists. While this new 3-night adventure features a completely different artist lineup from the 2025 sold-out 7-night cruise, it guarantees the same electrifying atmosphere and epic entertainment that Rock the Boat is known for.

In 2024, Choose Your Cruise set an exciting new standard for the Australian cruise industry. Inspired by the success of top music cruises worldwide, Rock the Boat continues to reach new heights by introducing Australia’s first-ever floating mainstage on the Carnival Luminosa pool deck. This innovative open-air concert venue, equipped with world-class production, brings fans closer than ever to their favorite artists, with spectacular ocean views and an electric atmosphere that will redefine the live music experience at sea.
