“Probably the best festival experience you can go to. Everyone became such a close unit, it felt like family. Metal was played, faces were melted, and friends were made! Mediterranea Metal Cruise 2026 is a must-go.”

What the MMC Family Says

“This was my first cruising experience. All of the MMC crew and guests were awesome. We were like one big extended metal family. Beautiful destinations with face-shredding metal on board. This is the only holiday and festival I want to experience in the future. I only wish it could have gone on for longer.”
