The Emo’s Not Dead Cruise took place earlier this month, running from February 4 through 8. Featuring a line-up of top artists in the pop-punk, “emo” and hardcore space against the stunning backdrop of Nassau, Bahamas, attendees were privy to an epic weekend of music, fun and adventure. New photos from the event, taken by shotbydecat, bore witness to the scene as crowds packed the deck to take in a sunset set from Boys Like Girls and an evening set from headliner The Used.
Shotbydecat also captured some extracurriculars, including a flip cup tournament and cruise goers enjoying the pool. What is most evident out of these new photos is the sheer enjoyment had by one and all as revelers took a step back in time to revisit the music of their youth. It was never just a phase.
The Emo’s Not Dead Cruise is set to return for its fourth voyage, sailing from Miami, FL, to Costa Maya, Mexico, aboard Norwegian Joy from January 22–26, 2026. Partnering with Sixthman, this will be the cruise’s largest edition yet. General on sale begins March 12th, with bands being announced this spring.
