Shattered Shores is a live music experience at sea built for the fans who never stopped feeling every lyric.
For multiple days and nights, a cruise ship transforms into a fully immersive music gathering stages, late-night sets, artist interactions, deck-wide singalongs, and a community that shows up ready to scream every word.
This isn’t a theme night.
This isn’t background music by the pool.
This is volume.
This is connection.
This is release.
From established favorites to emerging voices, Shattered Shores brings together artists across alternative, pop-punk, indie, metal, emo, and beyond, spanning live performances, DJ sets, and curated collaborations.
But what happens offstage matters just as much.
Artists and fans share the same space, through panels, hosted events, spontaneous moments, and late nights that turn into mornings.
You don’t just watch.
You're a part of it!
Shattered Shores is created by Whet Travel, the team behind Groove Cruise and over 20 years of music-driven sailings.
It builds on a community that’s already grown through Taking Back Emo events and onboard takeovers and evolves it into something larger, more intentional, and fully its own.
Fans are more than attendees.
They shape the experience.
Group photos turn into annual rituals
Inside jokes live all year
Reunion energy starts the moment boarding begins
Dark stages.
Electric lighting.
Crowds moving as one.
Open ocean in the background.
The energy is high.
The environment is immersive.
The emotion is real.
From deck to dance floor, every detail is designed to feel unified
bold visuals, powerful performances, and a space where everyone can show up fully.
Music creates connection.
Shattered Shores creates the space for that connection to grow louder, deeper, and closer than a traditional festival ever could.
On land, the night ends and everyone goes home. At sea, the experience continues. And that changes everything.
If you’ve ever lost your voice singing a chorus.
If you’ve ever found yourself in a bridge.
If you’ve ever wanted more than just a show
You’re in the right place.
Welcome aboard.
