If the rogue planet has a warm and active interior, you might have a planet like the moon Europa. There is an ice crust then on the inside of the planet an ocean.

Europa’s interior is a result of tidal compression/decompression from Jupiter’s influence. It would otherwise be as dead as the Moon with extra water-ice.
