Earlier this week, Mad Decent‘s Facebook page posted a playful picture of a happy hippo in the water with the simple phrase ‘Learn to Swim 2-12-14’ under it, and we knew something was up.

Today, we found out what the hell that cartoon hippo meant.

Following suit behind other highly successful ‘musical boat rides’ such as Holy Ship, the crew that has taken the Mad Decent Block Party all around the U.S. Is taking to the open ocean. From November 12-16 you could be a guest on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean with the likes of Big Gigantic, Bixel Boys, Borgore, Brazzabelle, Bro Safari, Cashmere Cat, Deorro, Dillon Francis, Diplo, Dirty South Joe, Djemba Djemba, DJ Sega, DJ Snake, ETC!ETC!, Flosstradamus, Gent & Jawns, Grandtheft, GTA, Jubilee, Katy B, Kill The Noise, Liz, Lunice, Major Lazer, Nadastrom, Netsky, Paper Diamond, Paul Devro, Riff Raff, Swizzymack, Travi$ Scott, Trippy Turtle, Wave Racer, Wolfgang Gartner, Zeds Dead and many more to be announced. You can look forward to a Q&A Session with Diplo & Friends hosted by Miss Info, autograph sessions with every artist on board, and great activities hosted by the artists as well.
