The special feature of this multi-day festival is that the party isn\u2019t at a normal festival ground but on \u2018The Freedom of The Seas\u2019, a luxury cruise ship. The tour starts and ends in Barcelona after visiting Ibiza and Marseille. It seems that the festivalgoer loves special occasions and locations. We spotted festivals at bungalow parks, thermal baths and of course the fitness festivals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The Ark<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As many as 4,000 party animals can board this festival. The cheapest tickets are \u20ac 549 per person. Tickets include a three nights sleeping place in the smaller cabins of the ship. If you rather go for luxury, for just over a thousand euros you will sleep in a suite. The Presidential Suite at a price of \u20ac 60,000 is already sold out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The world\u2019s biggest dance organizations like Ministry of Sound, Elrow and Girls love DJs contribute to this spectacular festival. Together, they will ensure that the seven stages will be filled with more than 50 DJs. During the event, meals and drinks are included. Alcohol should just be paid for.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Heavy Metal boat<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is not the first time that a large-scale music festival is held at sea. Next month, the heavy metal cruise <a href=\"https:\/\/70000tons.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">70,000 Tons of Metal<\/a> will sail for the seventh time from Florida, USA.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tickets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tickets are still available for The Ark. These can be reserved through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myplaceintheark.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">the website of the festival.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Inspiration<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We already spotted a couple of odd places for festivals, and The Ark most certainly can be added to that list. Last year our colleague David Maartense wrote about the Bungalup festival in a bungalow park in the Netherlands. We also wrote about the fitness festivals of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/les-mills-live-s-werelds-grootste-fitness-festivals\/\" target=\"_blank\">Les Mills Live<\/a>. These festivals, at which thousands of fitness fanatics work their butt off at dance music, are being organised for a couple of years now by Reebok in cooperation with Les Mills. In Budapest they\u2019re already organizing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/travel\/2016\/jun\/04\/budapest-spa-party-thermal-baths-sparty-ruin-bars\" target=\"_blank\">\u2018sparties\u2019<\/a> for a couple of years. This festival is being held at the thermal baths in the city. It looks like the real festivalgoer is in for surprises!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By the end of August the first edition of the The Ark Festival will take place.
