Holy Ship! is an annual three-night, four-day electronic dance music festival held aboard a 4,000 capacity cruise ship, which leaves out of PortMiami in Miami, FL.[1] 2016 will mark the event’s fifth year since its inception in 2012,[2] as well as the second year the event debuts two sailings; the first is held in January, with the second sailing occurring in February. The event kicks off with a pre-party held in Miami the night before disembarkation, featuring DJ artists that sail out with the music cruise the following morning.[3]

Itinerary

The cruise leaves out of PortMiami and travels to the Bahamas, making a stop on a private island for an all-day beach party and then either spending a day at sea or stopping in Nassau, Bahamas prior to arriving back to Miami. The event is put on by music production companies Cloud 9 Adventures, HARD, and The Bowery Presents.[4]

The private island party features a daytime dance party, with an un-announced artist arriving by helicopter and a lineup of DJs performing on the island. Historically, the event has sold out in the pre-booking phase, in which previous guests receive a token and are allowed to book prior to a general on-sale.[5] Previous headliners for the festival cruise include Skrillex, Knife Party, A-Trak, Zedd, Flume, Boys Noize, Rusko, Steve Aoki, Fatboy Slim, and Pretty Lights. Special guest appearances include Pharrell Williams, Kaskade, Disclosure, and Tiesto.[6] In addition to music, the event hosts a variety of artist-led activities and workshops.[7]

Non-Profit Division

The non-profit division of Holy Ship!, Positive Legacy, holds a silent auction during the event, in which the proceeds are donated to current Positive Legacy service projects. Positive Legacy is a 501(c)(3) charity organization committed to integrating live music and service by taking actions that positively impact people and the environment in the communities they visit.[8] In addition to the auction, Positive Legacy also offers guests the chance to offset their carbon emissions from traveling on the cruise, as well as holding a donation drive for the Bahamas Children’s Emergency Hostel in Nassau.[9]
