Rock Legends Cruise XIV: Foreigner, with Lou Gramm, leads an 11-act lineup out of Miami in February

Collective Soul, Gin Blossoms and Mark Farner are also on the Feb. 21–25, 2027 sailing from Port of Miami.

Some reunions are worth getting on a boat for. Foreigner headlines Rock Legends Cruise XIV, sailing from Port of Miami on Sunday, Feb. 21, 2027 and returning Thursday, Feb. 25. Original singer Lou Gramm is coming along as a special guest.

The Gramm news is the hook. Blabbermouth reported that Gramm will join Foreigner on the cruise and then play six shows with the band at The Venetian in Las Vegas in March. It's part of a bigger anniversary: Foreigner have been marking 50 years, and Blabbermouth also reported that Gramm and original member Al Greenwood would join the band at select 50th-anniversary shows (Blabbermouth). Whether you see the cruise as a warm-up for Vegas or the other way round, February out of Miami is one of the first places the pairing turns up.

The ship is Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas, according to Pollstar and the cruise's press announcement (Screamer Magazine). When Foreigner were announced last winter they were the first act confirmed, and the rest of the lineup was promised later. The lineup is now filled in, with 11 acts listed.

The lineup. Foreigner and Lou Gramm sit at the top. Under them are Collective Soul and Gin Blossoms, two bands with their own hits, which gives the ship more than one generation of radio rock. Mark Farner is billed separately as well.

Then there's the guitar contingent, which in its own way could be the best reason to go. Eric Gales is on the bill, along with Gary Hoey, Anthony Gomes and saxophonist and singer Vanessa Collier. On a ship, these are the sets you can catch from the front without fighting a crowd. Two Wolf and The Retrograde complete the list, and they're the acts to see early, before the headline nights take over.

The Lou Gramm reunion is the reason this sailing will be talked about long after it docks.

What it means for Miami. Port of Miami is where this festival starts and finishes. For one week in late February, a ship full of classic-rock fans leaves from Biscayne Bay, joining a busy season of music cruises that board here.

Booking. Cabins are booked through the cruise's reservation system. With almost four months before sailing, now is when to settle cabin choices and travel plans, and to check the cruise's site for set schedules as they're posted.

Book a cabin, pack a jacket for the open deck, and get to the pool deck early.
