The auction will feature one-of-a-kind rock memorabilia from current and past ShipRocked bands and more. ShipRocked guests have a history of generosity.

Onboard, Norwegian Pearl offers guests access to 13 bars and lounges, 19 dining experiences, one outdoor pool, four hot tubs, a fitness center, and a well-appointed spa. Those looking for more adventurous activities can bowl a few frames at the on board lanes, shoot hoops on the sports court or tempt lady luck at The Pearl Club Casino.
