We are grateful to have worked with partners and sponsors who are supportive in creating immersive experiences for our shipmates onboard. We believe that we’ve created an incredible adventure for our shipmates and we’re looking forward to new international sailings. With that being said, we hope that all our shipmates had a truly unforgettable time on board this maiden voyage for IT’S THE SHIP China,” said Iqbal Ameer, Group CEO of Livescape Group.
The five-day, four-night shipcation saw a variety of fun activities, themed parties, and non-stop music – all happening on the international waters, providing shipmates with a wide array of fun and exciting entertainment experiences with artiste-led side activities such as blow football, 3-on-3 basketball, bowling and crowd favourite belly flop. Throughout the journey, shipmates were also surprised with little pop-up activations at every corner of the ship while being spoiled with an endless assortment of non-stop fun from sunrise to sunset, including opportunities to rub shoulders with their favourite DJs on board.
On the third day, the very first IT’S THE SHIP China on board MSC Splendida, made a stopover at Shimonoseki Island, Japan, giving shipmates the freedom to explore the beautiful island and recharge before they continued to party the last two nights away with newfound friends.
