The inaugural HOLY SHIP! electronic music cruise features over twenty artists
performing around the clock in majestic, intimate and scenic settings aboard one
massive luxury cruise liner. This floating festival offers guests a unique opportunity to
party with their favorite musicians in a variety of onboard venues. Among the voyage’s
highlights is a special Beach Boutique party headlined by FATBOY SLIM at a private
island getaway in the Caribbean.

Adults 21+ may reserve the cabin of their choice for an initial deposit of only $250
starting June 15th, 2011. As cruise capacity is strictly limited to 2,500 persons,
reservations will be in high demand. Vacationers who take advantage of free e-mail
updates from HOLYSHIP.com will be alerted the moment reservations become
available. Cruise cabins accommodate 2, 3 or 4 people and range from $499 – $999,
with a limited number of deluxe suites at $1499 per person.

The experience kicks off with a pre-party on January 5th in Fort Lauderdale. Then on
January 6th,, fans will set sail on the MSC Poesia with the first port stop at Port Lucaya,
Bahamas. Next, the cruise reaches a remote private island where a special beach party
with Fatboy Slim is set against a Caribbean sunset.

Fatboy Slim, the world’s most celebrated electronic artist, will be in good company on
this epic sailing. Dutch wunderkind Laidback Luke guarantees out-of-this-world, handsin-
the-air dance parties. Producer of the decade Diplo joins the UK’s dubstep king
Rusko for back-to-back Mad Decent sets. A-Trak’s vast honors include his new Fool’s
Gold project Duck Sauce and multiple world DJ championship wins. Steve Aoki, the
driving force behind Dim Mak, is a phenomenon unto himself. Skrillex has taken the
world by storm with his unique hybrid of electrohouse and dubstep. From Paris comes
debonair DJ Brodinski, while Buraka Som Sistema brings the bailé party all the way
from Portugal.

Spellbinding DJ Doorly is the party captain from London to Ibiza. Hailing from Los
Angeles are moombahton star Dillon Francis, the legendary Tommy Lee & DJ Aero,
and HARD’s very own Destructo, who brings the party full-circle. DJs Contra and Mike
Deuce represent Florida’s own vibrant party scene, plus fans can expect many more
performers to be announced via HOLYSHIP.com in the coming weeks.

HOLY SHIP! is a wholly new endeavor for 2012 by three veteran event producers whom
patrons have loved and trusted for years. Since 2007, HARD EVENTS has launched a
global revolution in electronic music lineups with its innovative music festivals and
concerts. THE BOWERY PRESENTS is the undisputed leader of independent concert
promotion in the American Northeast. CLOUD 9 ADVENTURES produces cruises and
intimate resort events that transcend the traditional music experience by packaging
music, travel and luxury seamlessly into one.

Fans may recognize Cloud 9 Adventures as the producer of the highly successful Jam
Cruise entering its 10th year. Partnered together with The Bowery Presents and HARD
Events, these three join forces for HOLY SHIP!, a three-night cruise featuring the
greatest talents in the spectrum of electronic music, spanning house to dubstep to
techno and everywhere in between.

Tickets for the maiden voyage are on sale JUNE 15, 2011 at HOLYSHIP.com via the
CLOUD 9 Adventures Reservations system. All guests must be adults age 21 years and
up.
