ROCK THE BELLS ANNOUNCES THE “ROCK THE BELLS CRUISE: A HIP-HOP EXPERIENCE”

The first Hip Hop Experience Cruise has been announced by LL COOL J's Rock The Bells in honor of the genre's 50th anniversary the following year.
The Norwegian Pearl departs from Miami for The Bahamas on November 13, 2023, for four nights, and returns on November 17, 2023, bringing to life the one-of-a-kind cruise experience in collaboration with Sixthman.

The complete schedule of musicians will be revealed at a later time, however Trina and Trick Daddy will play during the kick-off celebration on the boat's deck to greet attendees.

“It took 50 years, but it’s finally here! This Cruise is for Hip-Hop, because you deserve it,” LL COOL J wrote to Instagram. “The Rock The Bells Cruise: A Hip-Hop Experience is setting sail in 2023. We’re dropping the line up at the top of the new year, but put $100 down to reserve your cabin today or sign up to be the first in line.”

Depending on the package buyers choose, the cost of a cruise ticket can range from $800 to more than $5,000 per person. Before the year is up, purchasers of tickets will only be required to make a minimum deposit of $100 and will also receive a complimentary three-month SiriusXM membership.

In addition to Kid Capri pool deck parties, DJ battles, rap karaoke, interactive graffiti, podcasts, roller skating, open mic nights, movie screenings, art galleries, tattoo parlors, basketball, and Bun B's Trill Mealz Food Court, there will be plenty of entertaining activities for tourists on the trip from Miami to The Bahamas.

“At Rock The Bells, we believe classic and timeless Hip Hop deserves to be served on a silver platter and we can’t wait for Hip Hop lovers across the globe to be immersed in the culture for five days, on five stages,” said Rock The Bell’s President James Cuthbert. “We’re excited to partner with Sixthman, who bridges the gap between artists and fans, creating unforgettable guest experiences.”

In 2018, LL COOL J established Rock The Bells with the goal of advancing Hip Hop culture and aesthetics. To remind consumers where Hip Hop originated, the brand makes use of content, business, goods, and unique experiences, including the upcoming inaugural festival.

The brand is named after LL COOL J's 1985 smash song "Rock The Bells," which the rap legend had to reclaim when another firm in the mid-2000s had appropriated the moniker for their own event.
