All aboard: Which cruise festival is for you?
Batten down the hatches, it's time to party
Name: The Ark
Date: August 31 - September 3
Line-up: 2ManyDjs, Boys Noize, Patrick Topping, Axel Boman, Peggy Gou (pictured above), Sven Väth, B.Traits, Chris Liebing
Where? Barcelona - Marseille - Ibiza - Barcelona
Four days, seven areas, 90-plus artists and over 4,000 ravers. The Ark is no joke. With a pretty damn impressive line-up that spans every genre with some of the biggest names in the game in tow, this is the cruise for you if you like your music powerful. Sven Väth and Boys Noize are some of the big guns playing, but then DJs like Gerd Janson, Cinnaman and KiNK cater for the headsy dancers. This is the only ship that stops via France and you're still getting your dose of sun with jaunts in Ibiza and Barcelona. Yoga sessions and stand-up comedy are both available onboard and if you really don't like the tunes, you can always enter the basketball tournament or go rock climbing. Yeah, that's actually a thing.
