/1 Comment/in /by

The Eurovision Cruise is departing again from Helsinki bringing the biggest summer Eurovision party.

The Eurovision Cruise is organized by OGAE Finland.  Fans from Finland and all over Europe meet in Finland every year to enjoy two days of Eurovision celebration, music and a fancy journey inside a Cruise that travels from Helsinki to Stockholm, Sweden.

This year, the tradition will continue with previous Eurovision acts performing live.  We will also have a Eurovision Karaoke and a Eurovision disco by DJ Werneri & DJ First Rank.

The Eurovision Cruise will be hosted by DQ (Denmark 2007) who will also be one of the main performers.  Matleena is joining DQ as a host of the Eurovision Cruise.

Let’s review the programme of the Eurovision Cruise 2024.

Thursday 22 August

    • Ami Aspelund (Finland 1983): Ami Aspelund represented Finland in Eurovision with her song Fantasia in Munich.
    • Suzy (Portugal 2014): Suzy represented Portugal with her song Quero Ser Tua in Copenhaguen.  Although Portugal did not qualify to the Grand Final that year, Quero Ser Tua has become a Eurovision anthem that is played in almost every Eurovision party across Europe

Friday 23 August

    • DQ (Denmark 2007): Peter Andersen, better known by his stage name DQ represented Denmark at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007.  DQ is returning to Helsinki in their role as a performer and co-host of the event.
    • Silvester Belt (Lithuania 2024): This year’s Lithuanian representative is also joining the Eurovision party
    • Poli Genova (Bulgaria 2011, 2016): Ari Ólafsson (Iceland 2018) was initially scheduled to participate at the Eurovision Cruise.  Unfortunately, he cancelled his participation.  However, the show must go on and Poli Genova was later announced as a participating act.  Poli Genova needs no introduction.  She represented Bulgaria in 2011 but did not qualify.  However, she raised the Bulgarian flag once again in 2016 with her song If Love Was A Crime and this time she did not only qualify but ended up in 4th place.
    • Hera Björk (Iceland 2010, 2024): Hera Björk is one of the most beloved Icelandic representatives in Eurovision.  She represented Iceland in 2010 with Je Ne Sais Quoi and once again this year with Scared of Heights
