The Ark Cruise 2018

Port of Barcelona, Spain

The Ark Cruise: A Luxurious Festival Cruise In The Mediterranean

Inspired by the fascinating tale of Noah’s Ark, the Ark Cruise is unlike any festival you’ve ever been on. This year, the voyage aboard the extravagant Vision of the Seas takes you to mind-blowing locations including Ibiza, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, and Sete. A curated lineup of almost 100 world-class dance acts such as Ministry of Sound, Café D’Anvers, Groove Cruise, Deep House Amsterdam will be performing, inviting you to unleash your inner animal and party like one. The result? The most epic event to ever have sailed the seas.   

The Ark Cruise has thoughtfully curated a wide spectrum of delightful activities and experiences that cater to those with the discerning taste. There will be shore excursions, high-end meals created by celebrity chefs (no lining up for greasy festival food here!), indulgent pampering in five-star spa facilities, and more. You’ll be given the freedom to explore some of the Mediterranean’s most scenic port cities, too! In fact, it’s more of a summer holiday at sea than a music festival: you’ll get to relax and unwind in your very own plush room on board decked out with complete hotel amenities and complimentary room service. Because it’s what you’ll need after hours of serious dancing. The event organizers are serious about offering only the best of the best in everything, since isn’t that what the chosen ones deserve?

‘Over 2,000 chosen ones party on the Ark, reveling in an atmosphere of unity, love, and passion at sea.’

So get ready to leave the world behind and escape on the Ark.

How to get around Barcelona

Barcelona’s public transport system is efficient and reliable. The trains operate until midnight from Sunday to Thursday; Fridays till 2AM, and all night on Saturdays. However, walking around the painfully picturesque city is the most enjoyable way to get around.

Where to stay in Barcelona

Check out the cozy hotels in La Rambla, Raval, Barrio Gotic, and Gracia if you want to stay close to touristy areas. For a more authentic experience in laid-back neighborhoods, Eixample and Sants are highly recommended.

Things to do in Barcelona

Welcome to Barcelona, home to beautiful beaches, delicious tapas, crazy nightlife, and charming Spanish culture. Get some sun at the many nearby beaches including Masnou, Montgat, Ocata, Garraf, Bogatell, Mar Bella, and the quaint small villages found on the Catalan coast.

Barcelona is practically synonymous to the world’s best tapas, paella, and sangria so prepare to eat and drink you weight’s worth. Your diet will have to wait until your trip is over, because you won’t want to miss out on this! Spaniards know how to party, so this is a great chance to meet young, hip locals and people from all over the world.

Explore the city on foot to appreciate the incredible architecture, specifically: Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, La Pedrera, and many of Gaudi’s world-famous works. Other notable attractions include the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site, Palau de la Musica Catalana, Casa de les Terrades, and Colonia Guell.
