Asia’s biggest party at sea is back and bigger than ever! IT’S THE SHIP, Singapore’s only EDM festival and the region’s largest festival at sea, has just dropped its highly anticipated first wave of artists for its 2025 edition. Set to take place from November 16 to 18 aboard the luxurious Genting Dream cruise ship, this year’s festival promises an unparalleled three-day, two-night experience filled with non-stop music, adventure, and unforgettable memories, featuring once again the iconic rubber duck mascot, many opportunities to interact at multiple touch points aboard a 3 day festival at sea, seen at all past IT’S THE SHIP parties.
Leading this year’s stellar lineup is none other than Timmy Trumpet. Renowned for his electrifying live sets that fuse blazing trumpet solos with hard-hitting electronic beats, Timmy will be making his IT’S THE SHIP debut — an experience fans won’t want to miss. Also joining the voyage for the first time is Brazilian superstar Alok, whose chart-topping hits have racked up billions of streams worldwide, bringing his signature sounds to the high seas. Dutch heavyweight Nicky Romero adds to the firepower, marking his inaugural performance aboard the festival cruise.

For hardstyle lovers, Australian legend Code Black is set to deliver high-octane energy, while breakout UK talent Tita Lau brings her fresh, dynamic sound to the ocean stage. Another highlight is the STMPD collective — DubVision, Justin Mylo, and Telykast — who will represent Martin Garrix’s influential label, delivering a powerful showcase of progressive house and future bounce.
More than just a festival, IT’S THE SHIP offers a one-of-a-kind “shipcation” experience. Beyond the music, festival-goers can enjoy round-the-clock dining, themed parties, ocean ziplines, waterslides, and intimate moments with artists — all while sailing across open seas. Cabins start at USD 899, inclusive of accommodation, dining, entertainment, and all festival access, with monthly instalment plans available.
With its unique blend of luxury, adventure and world-class music, IT’S THE SHIP 2025 is set to be the most talked-about festival experience of the year. Shipmates old and new are ready to set sail for what promises to be an epic musical journey.
