Norwegian Pearl to Sail Hip-Hop Cruise
Rock the Bells, the preeminent voice for classic and timeless Hip-Hop founded in 2018, will host its first-ever “Rock The Bells Cruise: A Hip-Hop Experience” onboard a Norwegian Cruise Line’s 93,530 gross ton Norwegian Pearl.
Sailing from November 13-17, 2023, the Hip-Hop brand will bring its annual Rock the Bells Festival to sea, elevating the guest experience by honoring and celebrating Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary as a salute to some of the genre’s icons.
“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,” Cuthbert added.
Founded by LL COOL J in his hometown, Queens, NY, Rock the Bells will partner with the industry leader in immersive music and lifestyle festivals at sea, Sixthman, to take over every corner of the ship from pool deck parties presented by world-renowned party rocker Kid Capri, DJ/Prod/MC/Host of Sirius XM Fly.
In partnership with the brand that has served over 300,000 guests on over 150 unforgettable vacations, Sixthman, Rock the Bells Cruise will be another achievement that will assist in meeting its slated 2023 goals, setting a record year in terms of the number of events and expansion into new verticals.

“From music to food, art, dancing, fashion, and history, this cruise will be a fully immersive experience, and I can’t think of a better way to keep the celebration of Hip-Hop’s 50th Anniversary going than Rock The Bells taking over their own ship on the ocean,” Cuellar added.
