Santorini is more than just a perfect island; it’s a haven for metalheads seeking an escape, a place where they can share tales of their favorite concerts and discover new bands.

While packing for any cruise requires thought, a metal cruise demands a few unique additions to your bag:

Metalhead Pose-off at Sunset:

Head to Oia’s famous sunset spot and have a hilarious competition with fellow metalheads to strike the most epic and dramatic metal poses as the sun dips below the horizon.

Air Guitar Battle on the Cliffs:

Find a scenic cliffside location, cue up your favorite metal tunes, and engage in an air guitar battle with fellow enthusiasts. Bonus points for creativity and wild solos!

Viking Helmet Photo Shoot:

Bring a Viking helmet (preferably with horns) and embark on a photo shoot at iconic Santorini locations. Imagine the juxtaposition of ancient Greek architecture with a Viking metal twist.
