According to a press release by 70000 Tons Of Metal:<\/p>\n
“70000 TONS OF METAL, The World’s Biggest Floating Heavy Metal Festival has reached the Canadian East Coast. Before turning the ship around,\u00a0they dropped off a scouting party to explore this vast country. Given secret orders, they headed West to the nation’s capital of Ottawa where they received a raving welcome. Are\u00a0you all getting a little EXCITER yet?<\/p>\n
Make no mistake, 70000 TONS OF METAL is not your grandma’s cruise.\u00a0It’s also not one of the cruises that share the ship with normal cruise guests. This is an all heavy metal cruise! Can you imagine that? A whole luxury cruise ship full of metalheads? And since there is no backstage area you will have the opportunity to mingle side-by-side with the artists in this incredibly fan-friendly scenario that has no comparison. It’s like everyone has a backstage pass!<\/p>\n
