The story

ShipRocked is a cruising festival that departs from Florida and includes ports of call in the Caribbean. It's known for its community of returning attendees, referred to as 'Survivors,' who introduce first-timers to a unique rock and roll experience on the high seas. The festival is all ages and features a variety of rock artists throughout its duration.

Shiprocked is a 6-day rock festival at Cruise Ship in Mexico, Mexico. The January 2027 edition runs 30 Jan – 4 Feb 2027.

Announced so far: Badflower, Caskets, Des Rocs, Highly Suspect, Ice Nine Kills, Of Mice & Men and Papa Roach. The line-up is spread across the 6 festival days, so a full-weekend ticket is the only way to catch every name.

Everything happens at Cruise Ship, in Mexico. Miami · 0 km · about 0 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.

Shiprocked keeps the same calendar slot each year: January 2027 for this edition, opening on a Saturday and closing on a Thursday. It is a winter date, so indoor stages and a warm place to sleep matter more than they would in July — and off-season travel is often cheaper. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Mexico are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• Departs from Florida with ports in Roatan and Cozumel
• Held from January 24-30, 2027
• All ages festival
• Cruise Ship venue
• Over 10 years running

What the trip costs from Paris

Door to door from Paris, a trip to Shiprocked works out at roughly €1,308 per person on the cheapest combination we track — a higher-budget weekend, mostly because of the travel leg.

No ticket price is published for this edition yet, so the total below covers travel and a bed only. It updates automatically as soon as the organiser opens sales.

Cheapest travel we price is air · 16h 7m each way, at €1,104 return.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Shiprocked are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 7 nights rather than 6: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4If you fly into Miami, check the transfer time to Mexico before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
5. 5Follow Shiprocked on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
