P&O Cruises welcomed legendary DJ, broadcaster and global dance music pioneer Pete Tong on board Arvia in Ibiza on Saturday for an exclusive 90-minute DJ experience for guests in the ship’s SkyDome.

The evening event took place while Arvia was docked at Botafoc Pier during a 14-night Western Mediterranean holiday, giving guests the opportunity to see the dance music icon perform on the island that is synonymous with his trailblazing career.

Pete Tong said: “I’m still thinking about Saturday night. I loved playing in the SkyDome on Arvia. Thanks to everyone who came along and made it so special.”

Guests also enjoyed an authentic ‘Taste of Ibiza’ with Hierbas Ibicencas, the island’s iconic herbal liqueur, exclusively distilled on the islands of Ibiza and Formentera since 1880. Produced using a blend of 18 locally sourced botanicals, including thyme, rosemary, mountain mint and citrus peels, the traditional Balearic spirit was served alongside classic Ibiza-inspired cocktails and regional dishes in Arvia’s Sunset Bar.

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.

Pete Tong said: “Ibiza has been such an important part of my life and career, so having the chance to perform on Arvia while docked on the island felt amazing. The P&O Cruises guests were incredible and there was a real energy in the SkyDome. It's not every day you get to bring an Ibiza-style set to a cruise ship, but the crowd were up for it from the first track to the last.”
