You’ll return to the ship, grab a drink, and get ready to be blown away by onboard metal shows that bridge the past and the present.

See you under the Mediterranean sun… Your metal holiday is just over the horizon.

Whitewashed cliffs, black volcanic sands, and a view that leaves you breathless, Santorini is more than a destination, it’s a force of nature. And this year, it’s back on our metal map.

Imagine this:
You’ve just wandered through the ancient caldera, had a local wine in your hand, and felt the heat of the volcano beneath your feet. You return to the ship, the sun setting behind the Aegean… and then the riffs begin.
From volcanic ruins to roaring guitar solos, all in one epic day.

Santorini was shaped by one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history — the Minoan eruption around 1600 BCE. It literally exploded a huge part of the island, leaving the dramatic caldera we see today.
🔥 Fun Fact: Some believe this eruption inspired the legend of Atlantis.

The island’s black and red volcanic beaches and rugged cliffs aren’t just stunning — they’re a testament to its explosive past.
🖤 Perfect for metalheads who like their views a little darker and wilder.

Santorini was once home to the Minoan civilization. The city of Akrotiri, buried in ash from the eruption, is incredibly well-preserved — with multi-story buildings, frescoes, and plumbing systems. It’s one of the most advanced Bronze Age settlements ever discovered.

See you under the Mediterranean sun… and in front of the stage.
Rock On!
