CRUISE FESTIVALS WORLD OF YOUTH
About festivals on cruise ships
To make an announcement in 7 languages with the most professional light and sound and to receive the evaluation of an expert jury is a worthy goal for the ambition of the creative teams.
The conditions of the festival are unbeatable: Visit 3-5 countries – the most beautiful corners of the planet without tiring journeys and at the same time use the services and luxury of a 5* cruise ship throughout the festival.
You will spend your time relaxing in the pools and jacuzzi, fitness, sauna, participating in daytime entertainment programs or evening programs or discos.
Dining on board NON-STOP with an improved buffet, breakfast, lunch and dinner. For dinner, festival participants have their seats in an elegant restaurant with 5 * service and a choice of 4 courses of each course: cold and hot snacks, main course and dessert.
Accommodation in comfortable cabins with full onboard service, with or without a window, with or without a balcony – you will be just as comfortable and pleasant to relax.
