Shipfam, listen up! Everyone's favorite floating fest, Holy Ship! , has some big news. In 2017, Holy Ship will upgrade to a brand-new boat and add a fourth day to each of its tropical voyages.

The new ship in question is called the Norwegian Epic (farewell MSC Divina!), and its name definitely befits the boat's amenities and size. Clocking in at 155,873 gross tons and 1,081 feet long, this dinghy can accommodate 4,100 festival-goers and 1,753 crew. That means there's tons of space to run around with your costumed crews, and plenty to do and see, from bars and lounges, to multiple stages, an Aqua Park, a spa, a tennis court, a sports complex, and much more. The award-winning ship also has luxurious staterooms.

Also new in 2017 will be back-to-back cruises, instead of spread-out voyages. The first excursion will set sail from Port Canaveral, Florida on January 6, returning briefly on January 10 before setting sail again for the second wild ride, which returns January 14. The event will feature two stops in the Bahamas, one at the privately owned island of Great Stirrup Cay, and one in the capital city of Nassau, in addition to a full day at sea for each voyage.
