TOM CRUISE wrote:My first music cruise was simple man cruise (sixth man cruise) in January 2008. Lynyrd Skynyrd Marshall tucker, blackberry smoke, zak brown band (who are now huge) and others. It was on this cruise that I had the idea for a heavy metal cruise leaving Miami . So when I heard about 70k two years later I was ecstatic !!!

I've also been on "Close-Up Båten" a few times, not sure when they started, though seems they were around 2007 at least. Also between Sweden and Finland.
None of these has the same amount of bands or last longer than 24 hours. But at least the Sweden Rock one happened many years before the first 70k, so metal cruises was around, albeit perhaps not really similar to 70k (other than the 34k name )

Monsters of Rock - older generation American audience

70000 Tons of Metal - METALHEADS
Wacken Full Metal Cruise - European party animals
Yep, in a nutshell. :)
Rock Legends Cruise - even older generation American audience
Barge To Hell - trvue grvm kvlt METALHEADS
Prog Nation At Sea - older/newer, mostly American prog-rock and -metal fans (all 1,000 of 'em, but sadly not enough)
ProgPower USA At Sea* - would have been about the same (and not enough), with a harder focus

* offered by Sixthman, but [wisely] declined

And I just noticed that Def Leppard cruise! That would be awesome!!!
Mrs and I met Def Leppard (well Phil Collen and Rick Elliott at least) when they toured Australia 6 or 7 years ago.
Great pair of guys - would love to hang out with them again.
