After four sellouts, Creed’s Summer of ’99 & Beyond Cruise returns in 2027 with a loaded lineup, nonstop fan experiences, and demand that won’t wait.

The cruise departs out of Miami April 17–21, 2027, with a destination set for Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas aboard the Norwegian Joy. And if history says anything, tickets will go fast.

Leading the charge, Creed will deliver two full pool deck headline sets, bringing the kind of late-’90s, early-2000s nostalgia that’s been fueling their massive comeback since 2023.

Formed in Tallahassee, Florida, in 1994, Creed quickly became one of the defining bands of the late ’90s rock boom. With massive hits like “Higher,” “My Sacrifice,” and “With Arms Wide Open,” the band has surpassed one billion streams and continues to connect with new generations of fans. Their breakout album My Own Prison laid the foundation, while Human Clay and Weathered cemented their place at the top of the rock world, both debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. After reuniting in 2023, the band’s return has been nothing short of explosive, selling out shows and reestablishing themselves as a major force in modern rock.

Joining them is a lineup that will throw you back to the late ’90s/early 2000s, with Breaking Benjamin, Sevendust, Our Lady Peace, Hoobastank, Hinder, Fuel, Drowning Pool, Fastball, Sponge, The Flys, and Ashes of Billy, plus Zach Myers of Shinedown. Hosting duties fall to Eddie Trunk and Rock Feed, keeping the energy moving between sets.

But it doesn’t stop at the music. The cruise leans hard into the experience as well, offering everything from exclusive fan moments to immersive onboard events. Offstage, the Norwegian Joy brings the full resort feel with go-karts, multiple dining options, a full casino, spa, and nonstop nightlife, turning the entire trip into a 24/7 rock environment.

Once docked, fans will step onto Great Stirrup Cay, a private island escape with white sand beaches and clear blue water—flipping the script from mosh pit to beach day without missing a beat.

Presale kicks off for alumni on April 30 and May 1, followed by additional windows on May 4 and 5. The first round of presale signups is open now through May 4 at 11:59 PM (ET), with the final round closing May 11 at 11:59 PM (ET). Public on-sale begins May 13 at 2:00 PM (ET), so you’ll want to sign up for presale alerts and be ready. This will sell out. All information for the event can be found at www.summerof99cruise.com. There is a $100 savings for booking during presale, with prices increasing on May 13.

For the first 850 cabins booked, fans will receive their choice of one of the following special experiences: an exclusive 30-minute Creed acoustic set, a photo with Creed, or a 30-minute Q&A with Breaking Benjamin (subject to availability).

Summer of ’99 & Beyond has become one of the most in-demand nostalgia-driven rock experiences out there, blending festival energy with a built-in community of fans who lived it the first time—and aren’t missing it again.
