It’s The Ship has always been more than just a music festival, with various fun side activities for patrons to enjoy in their downtime- and this year was no exception! From mini golf to rope course, and two shows from legendary male strip troupe The Chippendales, It’s The Ship truly was the cruise ship of dreams! It wasnβt all partying on the sea, however. With a stop off in Phuket, Thailand, shipmates had a chance to take the party onto dry land at the Kudo Beach club, and try their hand at beer yoga before getting back onboard for the return voyage to Singapore.
