November 2nd, 2015 - Los Angeles, CA - Flogging Molly's Salty Dog Cruise, scheduled to set sail on March 18th, 2016, has announced a new feature to their floating festival - skateboarding. Since music, skateboarding, and art go hand-in-hand, it's no surprise that the Salty Dog cruise will include all three for 2016. Flogging Molly's Matt Hensley is bringing aboard a half pipe - and a handful of skateboarders.

The lineup includes a who's-who of skateboarding legends: Steve Caballero, Tommy Guerrero, Ray Barbee, Lance Mountain, John Lucero, Jason Adams, and Hensley himself.  Attending fans will have a chance to watch these icons skate the ramp and hang out all weekend long.

The ramp, which will be located on the main deck, will be open to the public so passengers and fans are encouraged to bring their own skateboard. When the ship stops at Great Stirrup Cay on March 20th, fans will additionally have a chance to ride the ramp on the beach.

The attending skateboarders are not just skating idols, but artists and musicians as well. Caballero's band The Faction and Guerrero and Barbee's BLK TOP PROJECT will play on the ship. In addition, the skaters will also have their art on display at the Salty Dog Art Show, set to take place on March 19th. It's safe to say when they aren't on the ramp, you may catch them on stage or in the gallery.

The second annual three night, four day cruise, will take place from March 18th, 2016, through March 21st, 2016, and will be making two stops in the Bahamas. Fans can spend St. Patrick's Day Weekend aboard the Norwegian SKY cruise ship with some of their favorite bands - with food + alcohol included! Artists set to perform include Flogging Molly, Rancid, Frank Turner, Fishbone, Skinny Lister, and more! Tickets are available now.
