# Bass Boat 2026 — Year of the Kraken

> Bass Boat is Finland's biggest electronic music festival cruise: a 23-hour round-trip party aboard Tallink's M/S Baltic Princess sailing Turku → Stockholm → Turku on 3–4 October 2026, with 50+ artists across 6 electronic genres, multiple stages, a 12-activity sidequest program, and cabin-included tickets for roughly 2,000 passengers.

## About Bass Boat

Bass Boat 2026 (subtitle: "Year of the Kraken") is a floating electronic music festival organised in Finland. Instead of a land-based venue, the entire event takes place on a Tallink Silja cruise ship that departs from Turku, Finland, sails overnight to Stockholm, Sweden, and returns the following afternoon. Every ticket is a cabin booking on the ship — accommodation, transport and festival access are all included in one purchase.

The concept combines a Baltic Sea cruise with a full multi-stage festival: DJs and live acts play across the ship's clubs, lounges and top decks for roughly 23 hours non-stop, while passengers also have access to restaurants, bars, saunas, spa, tax-free shopping and a "sidequest" activity program on board.

Bass Boat is aimed at adults 18+ who love electronic music (hardstyle, hardcore, techno, drum & bass, trance, hard dance and adjacent genres) and want a festival experience that also includes travel, sleep and food in one package.
