About this edition

Battle Barge takes place Saturday, 26 September 2026 – Thursday, 1 October 2026 at Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas, Departing from Bayonne, United States.

Join a unique 40k fan event aboard a cruise vacation known as Battle Barge. It's a wargamer vacation designed for enthusiasts of the Warhammer 40k universe and wargaming hobby! Vacation alongside other fans sharing epic battles, painting tips, and love for the hobby -all while enjoying the luxury of a cruise. Dive into a cruise-long narrative campaign that ties together Warhammer 40k 10th edition with a travel friendly 1000 point army to jump in 2v2 narrative games alongside your friends or friends yet to be made aboard the ship as you take part in the massive narrative campaign. Don't feel like lugging around a full blown 1000 point force? You could just focus and play Kill Team as the elite strike teams influencing the larger battle through raids and special mission objectives. We will also have special sessions including Wrath and Glory and/or Imperium Maledictum 40k Tabletop RPG systems that will be affected by the greater war effort. So no matter which game you play your participation in the narrative campaign will matter as everyone's decisions shape the future sailings campaign! Whether you're a seasoned veteran, new to the hobby, or just have been looking for a reason to start, this fan cruise offers a unique blend of relaxation and excitement, perfect for any Warhammer 40k enthusiast to jump in. While we are massive fans of 40k we are just that, this event is not officially affiliated with or endorsed by Games Workshop.
