Editor's note: Cruise to the Edge 2020 has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizers are working with Norwegian to reschedule the cruise for fall 2020 or spring 2021, and existing reservations will be transferred to the new sailing.

Cruise to the Edge is a progressive rock (also known as prog rock) sailing that brings some of the biggest names of the genre to the high seas. Featuring a minimum of 35 bands with a full schedule of daily performances taking place everywhere from the ship's theater to the poolside stage, this cruise gives prog rock fans a chance to mix and mingle with stars of the subgenre.
