M88 Mansion, one of the biggest and most successful online casinos in Asia, is set to celebrate the 10th anniversary of IT’S THE SHIP, Asia’s largest festival at sea, in Korea from May 23 to 26, 2024.
IT’S THE SHIP offers attendees a unique, nonstop party experience for four days and three nights. This year’s festival will sail from the South Korean city of Busan to Nagasaki, Japan, and back aboard the Italian vessel Costa Serena.
Attendees, affectionately known as shipmates, will enjoy performances from this year’s lineup, including headliners Da Tweekaz, Tchami, Yellow Claw, ACRAZE, Afro Bros, Amber Broos, Quintino, and €URO TRA$H. Additionally, M88 Mansion celebrity partner and brand ambassador Maria Ozawa will also adorn this year’s crowd with a special performance.
Shipmates will also enjoy a list of unique activities, sponsored by M88 Mansion, against the scenic Korean coastline, including a live baccarat tournament with a $25,000 prize pool and daily challenges such as Heads Up Poker, Mini Golf Course, Spin the Giant Wheel of Fortune, and a chance to challenge brand ambassador Ozawa in Beer Pong.
As the event’s partner, M88 Mansion will be giving away exclusive M88 Mansion and IT’S THE SHIP merchandise, adding to the excitement of the voyage.
Ben Kee, Partnership Lead of IT’S THE SHIP, shared his excitement about the upcoming voyage.
“IT’S THE SHIP is thrilled to continue our incredible partnership with M88 Mansion with our upcoming maiden charter from Korea. Our previous collaborations have been amazing, and we’re honored to work with a brand whose values and vision are so closely aligned with ours. Together, we have created unforgettable experiences for our shipmates, and we are excited to raise the bar even higher for our next adventure. With M88 Mansion support, we have curated a variety of exciting activities and surprises for our Korean sailing that shipmates can look forward to, and we can’t wait!” said Kee.
