Freedom 2011 brings foreign DJs and new labels in its third edition

The Freedom cruise has already entered the Brazilian gay tourism calendar and this is nothing new. Its third edition, which takes place between the 18th and 20th of February 2011, brings new DJs, international attractions and labels that have not yet been present, and which join names that have already participated in the project.

The ship that will receive the public, who come from all parts of the country, is the MSC Armonia, which has capacity for around 2100 passengers distributed in 770 cabins. The vessel also has a nightclub, internet café, casino, games room, mini golf, restaurants and other attractions. Double interior cabins from 10 x R$109 per person, plus taxes.

In this edition, the bears will be treated to a special edition of Ursound, a São Paulo party that has won over its audience over five successful years. Rosane Amaral and her R:evolution also return in this edition. "I'm flattered that my label party was chosen to liven up Cruzeiro's finest night", she celebrates.

"A few years ago I read on a website or blog a producer saying he would do his own gay cruise but that ended up not getting off the ground, being implemented precisely by the people at 97 FM. That's why I think I couldn't have better partners", he adds Rosane.

A big new feature of this edition will be the presence of international attractions for the first time. For R:evolution, North American DJs Dave and Gerardo (photo) promise to make a good sound and fill your eyes with the beauty of the two, who will share the sound of the party with Brazilians André Mello and Thierry. At the White Party, by designer Rogério Figueiredo, Ronen Mizrahi, he will bring progressive house from New York.

The girls were also treated to The L Club party, promoted by the club of the same name, which will have DJs Nina Lopes and Sandra Bull in the line-up, the two main names in the São Paulo lesbian scene.

In this edition, sailors continue with an intense schedule of parties on board. On Friday, from 18pm onwards, the Café com Vodka party hosts the "Welcome Board", during the night the girls danced in the ship's nightclub at The L Club party. On Saturday morning, After Du Cajú takes place.

On Saturday night, the classic R:evolution and on Sunday the Jungle Party in the afternoon, considered by many to be the best party of the 2010 edition. To close the trip, the White Party takes place from 21pm.

In addition to the international names that are already confirmed, Brazilians Filipe Guerra, Júnior Peron, Robson Mouse, Mauro Borges and Paulo Ciotti also embark with the mission of getting the public dancing.
