Passengers aboard a P&O Cruises voyage are set for an unforgettable musical experience, as legendary broadcaster and DJ Pete Tong will join the ship for a special performance later this year.
A Legendary DJ Takes to the Seas
In an exciting development for cruise entertainment, Pete Tong will bring his iconic sound to the high seas. The celebrated DJ, renowned for his arena-filling sets and influential BBC Radio 1 dance shows, will host a unique 90-minute experience aboard P&O Cruises' flagship vessel, Arvia.
An Ibiza-Inspired Performance
The performance is scheduled for Saturday, 19 September 2026, and will take place in the ship's impressive SkyDome venue. This special event will occur while the Arvia is docked at Botafoc Pier in Ibiza, marking the vessel's inaugural visit to the iconic Balearic island.
Pete Tong expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming performance, stating: "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."
He added: "It's going to be one of those nights where everything – the place, the people, the music – just clicks. 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."
