Legendary DJ, broadcaster, and global dance music pioneer Pete Tong MBE will bring his signature Ibiza sound to Arvia this September when P&O Cruises newest ship visits the island.
Pete Tong will host a 90-minute DJ experience in Arvia’s SkyDome on Saturday 19 September whilst the ship is docked at Botafoc Pier.
The landmark events forms part of Arvia’s 14-night Western Mediterranean holiday – including a late-night departure from Ibiza.
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 an unforgettable DJ experience.
A true pillar of the global dance music scene, Pete is renowned for his impeccable ear for talent and remains one of the most influential figures in the industry.
He has earned widespread respect as an arena-filling DJ, music producer, broadcaster, and A&R visionary, as well as the voice of BBC Radio 1’s iconic dance programming.
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.
“Every time I play in Ibiza, it get reminded of why I fell in love with dance music in the first place. 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.”
After a full day exploring Ibiza’s beaches, boutiques and unmistakable Balearic vibe, guests will be able to keep the party island’s energy going long after sailaway.
Carnival UK and P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow added: “Pete Tong is a true trailblazer whose influence on dance music is simply unmatched. Welcoming him onboard Arvia whilst docked in Ibiza will be an extraordinary moment for us and perfectly reflects the ambition of our entertainment programme. We’re committed to bringing guests world-class talent and unforgettable experiences that cannot be found anywhere else. This collaboration captures what P&O Cruises stands for today – innovative, high quality entertainment that continues to raise the bar for holidays at sea.”
Throughout his remarkable 30-plus year career, Pete has championed dance music on a global scale, constantly pushing boundaries and supporting new talent.
His contributions were formally recognised with the prestigious Music Industry Trusts Award (MITS) in 2021, honouring his outstanding impact on music and broadcasting.
With critically acclaimed albums, including the UK Number 1 debut Classic House (2017), and collaborations with artists like Ultra Naté and Tale of Us, Pete Tong continues to push the boundaries of electronic music while honouring its rich legacy.
