If you haven’t heard of It’s The Ship then boy, you’re in for a treat!
Having set sail on 7 voyages across Singapore and China, over 20,000 people who have attended the event swears by this festival.
And from personal experience of attending music festivals all over the world, we honestly have to say this one really tops any we’ve ever been on.
So, here’s a very candid take on why It’s The Ship is still ranks the BEST festival for many.
1. It’s a party on a LUXURY CRUISE
When it comes to music festivals, many of us are familiar with landed ones. So, attending a festival on the OCEAN is really unlike any other.
How you ask? For example:
- We randomly got FREE drinks as soon as we stepped onboard the cruise ship and into the elevator.
Yes, this is in an actual elevator.
- The interior is overwhelmingly beautiful (and air-conditioned).
- The cruise goes out to the sea for 3D2N where you get the most magnificent views. Imagine waking up to this sight!
2. 24/7 food and parties
Yes, it’s buffet style too!
Parties on IT’S THE SHIP never stop, that’s why many who attended this would tell you that they barely had any sleep YET claim that was totally worth it! Ourselves included.
Here are some of the top parties we recommend:
- Onesie party
- Foam party
- BBQ party with a cannonball competition
3. The most amazing partygoers you’d ever meet

There’s something about going out to sea that causes everybody’s guard to drop.
From Australians to Cambodians, to Thais to our very own Malaysians, everyone very quickly befriends one another. Even the crew!
For 3D2N, you’ll meet extremely outgoing and crazy, yet loveable people you form bonds with that last a lifetime.
4. No more traveling at least 30 minutes for sleep
Who else hates traffic after a festival ends, or having to walk at least 30 minutes to your campsite?
This may not seem like much, but every festival goer knows how big a deal this actually is. The convenience of walking 5-10 minutes to your super comfy cabin to nap whenever you want? Say no more!
Plus, as there are many themed parties onboard, you get to quickly head back to get changed for the next party in the comfort of your own cabin. WITH SHOWER TOO!
Want a quick crew outfit change? Easy peasy!
5. The most spontaneous things that make you go WTF?!
From toilet roll ninjas to nightmarish adult babies, the spontaneity of IT’S THE SHIP will keep you doubling back for a look anywhere you walk.
In fact, it’s so random that you get a range of sweet marriage proposals to a DJ party set up at the men’s toilet!
Imagine being the confused guy in the toilet cubicle behind the DJ
6. Amazing line ups, with even more amazing interactions with international DJs
Boasting DJs like Vini Vici, Nervo, Yellow Claw, and celebrities such as David Hasselhoff and Henry Golding, it’s no wonder this party is a bucketlist for many.
As these huge names are often staying onboard, you’d get opportunities to brush shoulders and play beer pongs, rock climb, or even party with them.
Psst, on the last day, there’s always a secret intimate part with DJs till 10am!
7. The infinite activities you get to do
Besides the immensely high-energy parties, IT’S THE SHIP offers activities such as:
- Yoga
- Bowling
- Mini Golf
- Basketball tournaments
- Spas
- Theater shows
- Fancy dinners
and too many more to name. There’s really something for everyone to plan their own experience.
Convinced? Well, don’t just take our word for it. Try it out for yourselves!
We guarantee that once you’ve been on IT’S THE SHIP, you’ll be aching to go back every year for more.
This 2023, they’ll be setting sail 8-10 March for 3D2N. After a 3-year hiatus due to the pandemic, you can only imagine how wild it’s gonna get
