1D Boat Party: 16 Years of One Direction

One Direction are the focus of a boat party on the MV Calmer in Newcastle Harbour on Saturday 19 September, marking 16 years since the band began. It's a three-hour disco party on the water, with the ship's DJ playing the songs that defined a generation.

If you've got a soft spot for the band, the whole night is built around that. The MV Calmer sets sail from Wharf Road in Newcastle, and the three hours are dedicated to dancing, singing, and 1D nostalgia. The DJ keeps the music going throughout, so it's a night of singing along to the tracks you remember rather than a seated show. The party is billed as a huge disco on the harbour, and the whole thing is themed around the 16 years since One Direction started the journey that changed pop music.

All Event Cruises is handling the bookings and information for the night. The party runs from 7:00pm to 10:00pm, so it's an evening out on the water rather than a late one. Tickets range from A$16.00 to A$29.00, and the MV Calmer departs from Wharf Road, Newcastle NSW 2300.
