The 2024 edition of the 70000 Tons Of Metal festival sailed January 29 to February 2 from Miami, Florida to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and back, on board the luxury passenger vessel Freedom Of The Seas.
Organizers have released the video below, stating: "PortMiami awaits the arrival of sailors, who are set to embark on the Ultimate Heavy Metal Vacation. There, they will have the opportunity to witness over 60 world-class heavy metal bands perform and mingle with their beloved artists. As Sailors, Artists, and Crew members make their way across the gangway, they are enthusiastically welcomed aboard the Freedom of the Seas by our Heavy Metal ambassadors, the Pool Team.
The construction of our crown jewel, the Pool Deck stage, the Biggest Open Air Stage Structure to Sail the Open Seas, is underway thanks to our dedicated crew members. Concerts will commence at different venues right after we depart from PortMiami in the late afternoon."

With the recent completion of the 2024 edition of the 70000 Tons Of Metal festival, details of next year's cruise have emerged.
Sailors, brace yourselves for another epic voyage! The 2025 edition of 70000 Tons Of Metal, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise, will take us back to an absolute fan-favorite port that hasn't been visited in a decade - Ocho Rios, Jamaica! Taking place January 30 – February 3, 2025.
60 Bands, 4 Days, 1 Cruise Ship, and only 3000 Tickets. This is 70000 Tons Of Metal, The Original, The World’s Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise!
On 70000 Tons Of Metal you get unrestricted festival access to all 120 live shows on board, 70000 Tons Of Karaoke until sunrise, Jamming In International Waters – the Official 70000 Tons Of Metal All Star Jam which writes heavy metal history every year, clinics and work-shops with the musicians, our infamous belly flop contest, shore excursions with your favorite artists, and much more!
Everyone on board is a VIP, we don’t have assigned seating (this is a heavy metal cruise after all), and most importantly the bars on our ship never close – you heard us, bars that never close!
On this life changing adventure you will spend five days and four nights at sea mingling side-by-side with your favorite artists in this incredibly fan-friendly scenario that has no comparison. It’s like having an All-Access backstage pass!
