DJ Khaled is bringing some of the hottest acts in hip hop to the high seas this summer on the inaugural Summerfest Cruise 2017.

Announced Monday, the four-day music festival will take place aboard Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Sky over Fourth of July Weekend. The voyage will sail out of Miami on June 30 and make stops in Nassau, Bahamas, and Great Stirrup Cay before returning to Miami on July 3.

Headliners include Future, A$AP Rocky, Lil Wayne and Migos.

In addition to plenty of live music, the cruise will include exclusive fashion, sports, tech, gaming and dining experiences made possible through Summerfest Cruise's multiple brand partnerships.

Other highlights aboard the Norwegian Sky include a pair of swimming pools, multiple hot tubs, a spa, golf driving nets, basketball and volleyball courts, shops, an arcade and a casino, among other amenities.

"Summerfest Cruise 2017 is more than just a cruise, it's a movement. A movement of good vibes and creative energy. A movement that connects the worlds of music, fashion, culture, technology and design," said Khaled in a statement. "We're going to give you everything-the dopest live concerts, spectacular fashion pop-ups, enlightening panels and presentations-this will be one for the books."
