For 90 minutes, guests will experience era-defining, genre-blending dancefloor classics that have made Pete Tong one of the UK’s most well-known musical exports. And where better to see him than in the home of dance music itself?
The show will take place on Saturday, 19th September, whilst the ship is docked at Botafoc pier. This landmark event forms part of Arvia’s 14-night Western Mediterranean holiday – including a late-night departure from Ibiza.
In Arvia’s SkyDome, guests can sip cocktails, soak up the Spanish sun and groove to their heart’s content in the open air on the top deck. This one-of-a-kind, glass-enclosed poolside paradise will be transformed into a vibrant hub of evening entertainment
Pete Tong – a dance music icon
Pete 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.”
If you’re a dance music fan, seeing Pete Tong in Ibiza should be on your list of absolutely must-sees. Renowned for shaping the evolution of electronic music, Pete Tong’s DJ performances celebrate the legacy of dance music, blending iconic house tracks with his unmistakable style to create nights that are unforgettable.
More recently, he’s worked with orchestras and classical musicians to bring to life iconic dance music with full orchestras at live shows across the world.
Carnival UK and P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow says: “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.”
