DJ Pete Tong to perform on P&O Cruises ship in Ibiza

The DJ behind the Ibiza dance scene will perform on a P&O Cruises ship when it visits the island.

Pete Tong will host a 90-minute performance in the SkyDome on board Arvia.

The event will take place on September 19 when the ship is docked at Ibiza’s Botafoc Pier as part of a 14-night western Mediterranean itinerary.

The cruise departs Southampton on September 13, calling at La Coruna, Malaga, Alicante, Ibiza, Marseille, Barcelona, and Cadiz (Seville). Prices currently start at £1,129 per person based on two sharing an inside cabin.

Tong said: “Ibiza has always been my spiritual home – it’s where the sound and culture of dance music truly came alive. 

“To bring that energy aboard the Arvia cruise and connect with people in such a unique setting feels really special. It’s going to be one of those nights where everything – the place, the people, the music – just clicks.

“Every time I play in Ibiza, I get reminded of why I fell in love with dance music in the first place. 

“Taking that sound beyond the island, across the water on the Arvia, is about carrying those memories into something new - the same spirit, just a different horizon.”

Carnival UK and P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow added: “Pete Tong is a true trailblazer whose influence on dance music is simply unmatched. 

“Welcoming him on board Arvia whilst docked in Ibiza will be an extraordinary moment for us and perfectly reflects the ambition of our entertainment programme. 

“We’re committed to bringing guests world-class talent and unforgettable experiences that cannot be found anywhere else. 

“This collaboration captures what P&O Cruises stands for today – innovative, high quality entertainment that continues to raise the bar for holidays at sea.”
