Nightwish Added To 70000tons Of Metal

06/27/2011
. (Submitted) For many nights they had the wish to go back to the country of thousand lakes, which is famous for it's vodka but also for its many great Heavy Metal bands!

Time to announce two very special performances of one of Finland's finest on board 70000tons Of Metal, The World's Biggest Floating Heavy Metal Festival... a band that has sold millions of records and collected over 60 Gold and Platinum awards world-wide. Sailors... please welcome Nightwish!

Will this be 70000TONS OF METAL's last visit to Finland this year? Time will tell... For now, they set sail in the Gulf of Finland with their course set West...

Make no mistake, 70000TONS OF METAL is not your grandma's cruise. It's also not one of the cruises that share the ship with regular cruise guests. This is an all Heavy Metal cruise! Can you imagine that? A whole luxury cruise ship full of metalheads? You can enjoy tons of onboard live shows on several in and outdoor stages from early in the morning until late at night, open-mic nights, Heavy Metal karaoke with members of the bands, bars that never close, again: bars that never close..., a fun-and-sun-filled day on the beautiful island of Grand Cayman and since there is no backstage area you will have the opportunity to mingle side-by-side with the artists in this incredibly fan-friendly scenario that has no comparison. It's like everyone has a backstage pass!

So far 13 out of a total of 40 bands on board are known:

AMORPHIS
CORONER
ELUVEITIE
GRAVE DIGGER
IN EXTREMO
MOONSORROW
MY DYING BRIDE
NIGHTWISH
PESTILENCE
SAMAEL
STRATOVARIUS
THERION
TRISTANIA

70000TONS OF METAL will sail Monday, January 23, 2012 aboard the Royal Caribbean �Majesty of the Seas� from Miami FL to George Town, Cayman Islands and will not return you to the real world for four days until Friday, January 27, 2012.

Ticket prices start at US$666 plus US$289 taxes and fees per person and include all on-board entertainment, non-alcoholic and non-carbonated beverages, all meals at the dining rooms, most on-board restaurants and even 24 room service
