Modest Mouse Announce Ice Cream Floats Music Cruise, with Portugal. The Man, Kurt Vile and the Violators, Built to Spill, David Cross and More
Modest Mouse have partnered with Sixthman to create Modest Mouse Presents Ice Cream Floats, a new music cruise led by the three-decade indie forerunners and featuring a top-tier lineup of peers. Setting sail from February 5-9 of 2026, the roundtrip music getaway will travel from Miami to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic with three nights of shows from the headlining band and a mix of performers far afield from typical cruise fare.
The indie-heavy cast of acts joining Modest Mouse aboard the Norwegian Pearl include longtime mainstays like Portugal. The Man, Kurt Vile and the Violators and Built to Spill, alongside rising stars Mannequin Pussy, FIDLAR, Tropical Fuck Storm, Ugly Casanova and The Black Heart Procession, plus venerable comedian David Cross. All performers will deliver intimate sets, and more artists will be announced as the event approaches.
Offstage, passengers will get to experience a range of exciting activities curated by Modest Mouse. With Mouse Stardust Theater 3000, the band will take a page from MST3K and screen “truly unique films” with their live, brutally honest commentary. The band will also present a DJ set, Q&A, “Parade of Freaks” and more. All this aboard the lavish Norwegian Pearl, kitted out with countless fully stocked bars, pools, spas and fitness centers.
Fans can sign up for presale access now through April 10. Presale will run from April 14-18, with a general on-sale following on April 20. Find tickets and more information at modestmousecruise.com.
