From April 23 to April 28, 2026, the International Youth Cultural Cruise “Peace” will take place – a unique event that combines a festival program with a journey across some of the most impressive destinations in Europe. On board the cruise ship MSC Orchestra, participants from different countries will have the opportunity to present their art, exchange experience, and build new international connections in a different, inspiring environment.

The festival aims to bring together folklore and contemporary art, encouraging cultural dialogue, friendship among participants, and the creation of future joint projects. The program includes a variety of artistic performances, master classes, educational excursions, and entertainment activities, turning the cruise into a complete cultural experience.

The travel route spans six days and five nights, departing from Civitavecchia (Rome), with stops in Valencia, Spain, and Livorno (Florence), Italy, as well as days at sea. In each destination, participants will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture through organized or individual excursions. The highlight of the festival will be a concert on the main stage of the cruise ship, where performers will present their programs to an international audience.

The event is aimed at dance ensembles, vocal groups, and solo performers seeking a new stage for expression and the opportunity to participate in an international format. In addition to the artistic program, the cruise offers full service including accommodation, meals, and organizational support, ensuring a comfortable and memorable experience for all participants.

Those who wish to become part of the International Youth Cultural Cruise “Peace” can submit their applications by April 3, as places are limited and prior approval by the organizers is required.
