W.O.A. announced FULL METAL CRUISE for 2013

W.O.A. announced the first and the biggest Metal Cruise in Europe: From 5th to 12th of May 2013, the FULL METAL CRUISE brings the real festival feeling to the sea.

The FULL METAL CRUISE starts in Hamburg and enters the harbors of Southampton (UK), Le Havre (F) and Amsterdam (NL). After 7 days full of sea & relaxing and Metal & party feeling, the ship then returns to Hamburg with a special show at the harbor anniversary fest.

Whilst there will be big fireworks and a special show on onboard, the cruise will return to the harbor and this will be one of the many things leading to a great overall experience for every metal-sailor!

“Heavy and hard music and a cruise don’t conflict with each other”, says Wacken boss Thomas Jensen. “With the FULL METAL CRUISE we want to bring a real Metal festival to the sea!”

You can purchase your FULL METAL CRUISE ticket from 18th of July on at www.full-metal-cruise.com

Attention: The tickets for this very special festival are limited to an amount of 2000. The quick ones can show the whole world that they will attend the cruise: the first 500 metal sailors will receive an exclusive Full Metal Cruise Shirt!
