Cala Luna, one of the natural jewels of the island
During the spring of 1999, Belle & Sebastian, a Scottish indie-pop group, headed for the first time the cartel of the bowlie weekend festival , which took place in a holiday camp in Sussex (England).
And, although this musical event was recalled in 2010, this summer it will be a unique event since to celebrate the passing of 20 years from birth will be recreated on board a cruise . The Bowlie Weekender will leave Barcelona on August 8 and sail through the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean towards Cagliari ( sardinia ), where it will dock on the 12th of the same month.
Cagliari is a paradise
Nothing more and nothing less than 2,500 music lovers they will be able to enjoy four fun days where music will be the real protagonist. Apart from enjoying the concerts, passengers will be able to attend other types of activities such as theme nights, karaoke, a sailor's knot workshop, bingo sessions, scrabble contests or live interviews with some artists.
The iconic Belle & Sebastian will once again be the head of a poster made up of the following groups: Mogwai, I Have It, Camera Obscura, Teenage Fan Club , Django Django, Alvvays, Buzzcocks, Japanese Breakfast, The Vaselines , Honeyblood, Hinds, Kelly Lee Owens , Nilüfer Yanya, Whyte Horses, Tracyanne & Danny, Alex Edelman, Propaganda, Elisabeth Elektra , Campfire Social, Wet Look and Wojtek The Bear.
If you are hesitating to join this great summer plan, do not delay too long: those who reserve the first 350 cabins will be able to attend the exclusive presentation of Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant, one of the Belle & Sebastian albums. And if you book during pre-sale, you'll get an unreleased vinyl of the cruise.
On the other hand, this floating festival welcomes everyone, both adults and children, with open arms: There will also be children's parties with a DJ. And not everything will be revelry, there will also be moments to plunge into relaxation thanks to the yoga classes taught by Frances McKee -singer of The Vaselines- and meditation sessions.
As for the cabins, there are numerous options, which adapt to the needs of travelers: from family suites to balcony rooms , going through bedrooms for two people with sea views.
Several bars, restaurants and lounges for common use, a huge spa, swimming pools, Jacuzzis, a gym, a sports court, video game room and a casino are the rest of the rooms you will find on board The Boaty Weekend . And on land? The wonderful emerald water beaches of Cagliari and its medieval district of Castello are worth a visit.
