Roll That Wave
An Original Song By The Vacation Pirates
There once was a crew on the lido rail
Way-hay, the rum ran free
Sunburned backs and a windy tale
And we roared at the open sea
Oh roll, boys, roll that wave
Way-hay, let the good times flow
We’ll drink till the horn calls all hands home
And bless this shipboard show
The captain said, “Mind your pace.”
Way-hay, we heard him not
We toasted the sun in his stern old face
And forgot what sense we’d got
Oh roll, boys, roll that wave
Way-hay, let the good times flow
We’ll drink till the horn calls all hands home
And bless this shipboard show
We’ve Ship Show Shirts and battle scars
Way-hay, we wear them proud
We’ll raise one more for you and me
And sail in revelry
Oh roll, boys, roll that wave
Way-hay, let the good times flow
We’ll drink till the horn calls all hands home
Vacation pirates, ho!
If ship happens out at sea
Way-hay, let it be
We’ll raise one more for you and me
And sail in revelry
Oh roll, boys, roll that wave
Way-hay, let the good times flow
We’ll drink till the horn calls all hands home
Vacation pirates, ho!

Hear ye, hear ye…
The crew known as the Vacation Pirates be unleashin’ another anthem upon the seas… “ROLL THAT WAVE” now ridin’ proud across all major streamin’ waters.
Aye, this ain’t no song about avoidin’ trouble. This be a full-tilt, grin-wearin’, balance-questionin’ call to lean into it. Built for that moment when the deck starts swayin’, the night finds its rhythm, and some bold soul decides the only proper response be to ride it out… loudly.
Forged in the heart o’ cruise culture, this track don’t chart a course… it throws the map overboard. From rail-leanin’ to full-blown deckside mischief, “ROLL THAT WAVE” be the sound o’ sayin’ aye to whatever comes next… wise or otherwise.
From first beat to final shout, it’s a tribute to them what don’t just cross the ocean… they answer it. Whether ye be cruisin’ under open sky or stuck ashore wishin’ ye were, this be yer invitation to stop resistin’ and start ridin’.
So grab yer crew, find yer footing… or don’t… and let the night do what it does.
“ROLL THAT WAVE” be now streamin’ everywhere music be found.
Go on then… press play. 🏴☠️

We admit it… we're biased. We work our butts off creating awesome off-the-rack designs, and we'd love nothing more than to see you wearing one on your next cruise. But some occasions deserve something a little more personal.
Whether you're planning a family cruise, girls trip, bachelor or bachelorette party, birthday celebration, wedding, honeymoon, anniversary, class reunion, or any other excuse to get your favorite people together on a cruise, a custom shirt turns an already unforgettable vacation into something even more memorable.
Yeah, it looks great on the ship. But long after the tan fades and the luggage is unpacked, it becomes something even better… a souvenir that brings back the memories every time you pull it out of the closet.
