ULTRA Europe Festival has long since outgrown the boundaries of a classic music festival, and it once again confirms this with the announcement of the Destination ULTRA Europe Cruise as one of its most original and immersive formats to date. It is a seven-day festival journey aboard premium luxury vessels, combining music, travel, and the Adriatic setting into a unique experience. It is an integrated adventure that doesn’t end with the final DJ set at Park Mladeži, where ULTRA Europe will once again gather hundreds of thousands of fans from around the world from July 10 to 12 this year.
Destination ULTRA Europe Cruise is designed as a seven-day program that goes beyond the traditional festival offering. Unlike standard concepts, it is a multidimensional adventure in which days begin at sea among the islands, continue with exploring hidden locations and unique settings, and culminate in participation at all key ULTRA Europe events. The Cruise includes a seven-day ULTRA Destination VVIP pass that takes participants along a carefully curated route – Split – Brač – Vis – Hvar – with accommodation on luxury premium vessels designed for full immersion into the festival experience and organized ULTRA Europe events at exclusive locations.
Guests are provided with daily breakfast and lunch, featuring a thoughtfully crafted gastronomic experience of authentic local cuisine. Life on board is envisioned as a full-day extension of the festival, with spacious sun decks, a jacuzzi, elegant indoor lounges, an open-air dining area, a fully equipped bar, and modern audio-visual systems. This combination of island hopping, music, and shared travel makes the format rare even within the global festival industry, as the seven-day program delivers both a sense of exclusivity and the opportunity for complete immersion in the ULTRA Europe world. All information about the Destination ULTRA Europe Cruise is available via the provided link.
Exceptional interest in this festival experience primarily comes from the U.S. market, confirming Croatia’s international recognition as a destination that offers more than a classic vacation. Alongside the Cruise, the full ULTRA Europe fleet of around 150 vessels has also been announced. This impressive sight significantly contributes to the global promotion and visibility of the Split-Dalmatia County, transforming its coastline and islands into an active festival stage and encouraging the spread of content beyond Split to the wider county area.
That ULTRA Europe remains strongly focused on its audience is also confirmed by the fact that the fan pit ticket category sold out in record time. A special promotional campaign for Croatian and regional visitors is currently underway: with the purchase of four three-day tickets, visitors receive a fifth ticket free of charge. Through this initiative, ULTRA Europe further encourages group attendance and highlights togetherness as one of the core values of the festival experience. The offer is available exclusively through the online Entrio system.
At the same time, ULTRA Worldwide is entering a new chapter on a global level. The 2026 world tour has already kicked off this weekend in Buenos Aires, while ULTRA Miami has announced a lineup featuring as many as 80% new performers. Some of them include Alan Walker, Worship, ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, BZRP, Marlon Hoffstadt, and WANKDAT (Wooli & Crankdat), once again shaping new global music trends. In this broader context of growth and creative expansion, ULTRA Europe will present the first wave of performers for its 12th edition to fans in the coming weeks.
