Today, we’re diving into the Tomorrowland Global Journey package—the fancy way to get festival tickets (and possibly drain your bank account).
Think of it as a magical portal promising the ultimate EDM experience, complete with travel, accommodations, and a golden ticket to bass-drop heaven.
But here’s the real question: Is Global Journey the key to festival nirvana, or just a brilliant scheme by marketing geniuses to separate you from your money?
Let’s find out!
What is Global Journey Package?
Convenience
Imagine if planning a trip to Tomorrowland was as easy as ordering a pizza. You just pick up your phone (okay, tap on your screen), make a few choices, and bam—everything’s sorted. That’s Global Journey for you. It’s like having a magic festival fairy who, instead of granting you three wishes, fixes up your whole trip with a flick of her wand.🧚♂️ (and yes, a little swipe of your credit card)
Customisation
It’s not just about convenience. You also get to be the master of your own festival destiny! With Global Journey, you’re in control of two crucial aspects of your festival adventure: transport and accommodation. Firstly, choose your mode of transport from a variety of options, whether you prefer the speed of a flight, the scenic route by train, or the affordability of a bus journey. Then, select your level of comfort from the magical menu of accommodations. Whether you’re drawn to the immersive experience of DreamVille, the tailored comfort of a concept hotel, or the practicality of a hostel, you have the power to choose.
This customization ensures that your trip to Tomorrowland is exactly what you want it to be, tailored to your own style, budget and comfort preferences.
No drama
Once you customise your Global Journey Package, every detail is taken care of. You can dive into the Tomorrowland experience without lifting a finger. Think of it as an ‘all-inclusive’ package in the magic words of festivals. No more staring at flight prices like they’re going to change if you blink, no battling with hotel bookings, and definitely no trying to figure out how to get from the airport to the festival without ending up in a different country.😃
Since all the logistic of travel and accommodation is handled by the team of pros, in the meantime you can focus on the fun parts (like the selection of festival outfits or just heavy drinking). Your only job is to show up and let the festival spirit sweep you away.
It’s literally like the backstage pass to the festival of your dreams, without the chaotic logistical drama.
What Exactly Does Global Journey include?
Transportation from your home country to Belgium and back. (customizable)
Each of these Tomorrowland Global Journey transport options is designed to enhance your festival experience from the moment you start your journey. It’s not just a boring transfer from point A to B. They’re more than just transportation, They’re an integral part of the experience and first step into the adventure offering a seamless transition into the magic world of Tomorrowland.
Luckily, you have three exciting options to choose from: plane, train, and bus.
Each mode of transportation comes with its own unique experience and set of benefits.
Let’s explore the options and help you decide the best way to reach Tomorrowland!
Global Journey by Plane
Diving back into the high-flying route to Tomorrowland, the plane option really spreads its wings far and wide, with departures from over 55 cities around the globe. These flights, operated in partnership with Brussels Airlines, offer a unique experience with a special Tomorrowland act on board to get the festival started in the sky.
However this isn’t your average, “Please fasten your seatbelt” kind of flight. No, no, no! We’re talking about party flights here! The excitement begins the moment you check-in. It’s like a mini rave at 30,000 feet setting the stage for the epic celebration awaiting you at Tomorrowland. From themed decor that reflects the Tomorrowland ethos to in-flight entertainment and live DJ sets that get you in the festival mood, the journey is as much a part of the event as the festival itself.

FUN FACT: In the past Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike have indeed performed on some of the special Tomorrowland Party Flights.
Global Journey by Train
These aren’t your grandma’s quiet carriages! We’re talking about Tomorrowland Party Trains, where the festival vibe kicks off the moment the train leaves the station.
It’s like Hogwarts Express (if Hogwarts taught festival survival skills instead of spells). There’s an energy in the air, a buzz of excitement as everyone’s headed to the same magical place. Some trains even feature live DJ sets, turning your carriage into the VIP section of the coolest club you’ve ever been to – only it’s zipping through beautiful European landscapes, making it feel like you’ve started Tomorrowland way before reaching the actual grounds. It’s an epic warm-up, ensuring you arrive not just ready, but already living the festival life by the time you arrive.
You can depart from:
- Czech Republic:
– Prague - France:
– Paris - Germany:
– Düsseldorf
– Dresden
– Berlin - Netherlands:
– Amsterdam - United Kingdom:
– London
Global Journey by Bus
The bus option for Tomorrowland’s Global Journey offers a practical and budget-friendly way to reach the festival from several European cities to the heart of Tomorrowland. It’s a chance to bond with fellow travellers, sharing stories and excitement as you head towards EDM paradise.
Global Journey rolls out buses from 13 cities across 6 countries, ensuring that no matter where you are in these regions, you’re never too far from a direct route to Tomorrowland.
You can depart from:
- France:
– Paris
– Lille
– Reims
– Metz - Netherlands:
– Eindhoven
– Maastricht
– Amsterdam - United Kingdom:
– London - Denmark:
– Copenhagen - Germany:
– Bonn
– Düsseldorf
– Aachen - Luxembourg:
– Luxembourg
Now, let’s talk about the wallet-friendly angle. The bus is usually the cheapest option if you want to save some cash but usually, it’s also the longest. But hey! You can think of it as extra bonding time with your new festival family or a chance to perfect your festival playlist.
One important aspect to consider is that by choosing the bus package, you are automatically signing up for the DreamVille experience. This package does not offer the option to stay in a hotel or hostel. So, if saving some cash and diving into the full festival experience sounds good to you, the bus to Tomorrowland is the way to go.
However, if you’re torn between riding the bus or catching the train, think about your priorities. If you value your time as much as your money, you might want to lean towards the train. It’s faster, smoother but you’ll spend a bit more.
Disclaimer: Not all transportation options are party ones. 😢
When you’re about to book, pay special attention because not every option comes with a built-in party. Only certain planes and trains are designated as the “party” kind, where the festival vibe starts the moment you board. If you’ve got a choice, absolutely go for the party option.
Think of it as choosing between a regular journey and one sprinkled with festival magic. Both lead to the same fantastic destination, but one offers a little extra sparkle on the way. It’s kind of like choosing between a silent disco in your living room and being front row at your favourite band’s concert. We all know which one is more fun.
I went for the party option myself, and let me tell you– It’s like hitting the jackpot. It turned my journey into a prelude to the festival itself, complete with beats, buddies, and a boatload of memories even before setting foot in the festival. It’s literally like having a mini Tomorrowland on the way to the actual big deal.
So, when you’re picking how to get there, if you see an option that says it’s a party version, jump on it!
Remember, you’re not just choosing a way to get there. You’re choosing how your epic tale begins.
Accommodation(customizable)
Your Global Journey Package is like a buffet of comfort, serving up accommodations to suit every festival-goer’s taste, from the rustic charm of camping to the plush embrace of hotel luxury. Let’s explore the options at your fingertips, ensuring your Tomorrowland journey is as comfortable as it is thrilling.
DreamVille: The Glamping Kingdom
Welcome to DreamVille, the only place where waking up in a tent feels like a choice rather than a consequence of poor life decisions.😂 You can think of it as the adult version of summer camp but with less bug spray and more beats. It’s the promised land for those who believe a tent can be a luxury (with enough imagination or even more alcohol).
DreamVille offers an eclectic mix of options to ensure your stay is as epic as the festival itself. Fancy bringing your own tent and pitching it with the precision of a NASA engineer? Go for it. Prefer to find a tent pre-pitched and ready, as if by magic, so you can focus on more important things (like where the nearest bar is)? There’s a package for that! Luxurious camping options are also available, blending the thrill of the great outdoors with the comfort of, well.. not having to do anything outdoorsy at all.
You can dive into the kaleidoscope of DreamVille accommodations here.
And here’s the cherry on top! Its prime location right at the heart of Tomorrowland means you can forget about the hassle of transfers back to your accommodation. No more late-night treks to buses, no fear of missing the last train, and definitely no taxi fare that costs more than your mortgage. DreamVille is so close to the action, you can practically crawl from the last set back to your tent. (Although I strongly recommend walking for safety and dignity’s sake.)
So, pack your bags (and maybe a small flashlight) and get ready for the convenience of living in the pulsing heart of Tomorrowland, where your bed is always just a short walk away from the magic.
Hostels: The Budget-Friendly BFF Factory
Enter the world of hostels, the unsung heroes of Tomorrowland. It’s where your bank account breathes a sigh of relief, and your social circle expands faster than the universe.
When you book a stay at a hostel, you’re essentially reserving a bed in a shared room. Your sleeping area is your own, often equipped with a personal locker for your belongings. The other living spaces including bathrooms, kitchens, and lounges are shared with fellow travellers. It’s a setup that encourages interaction and exchange, making it a unique choice for those who seek more than just a place to sleep but an opportunity to connect. They’re the adult equivalent of a sleepover but usually with more interesting characters, like the guy who’s been to Tomorrowland 15 times or the girl who swears she can teach you 5 languages in an hour.😃
It’s a place where every “good morning” at the coffee machine could lead to a day-long buddy or a lifelong friend. Choosing a hostel means embracing the shared experience—sharing stories, travel tips, and perhaps even planning festival day itineraries together. That’s the kind of bonding that only happens when you’re living in close quarters with fellow music lovers.
So, pack your bags (don’t forget the earplugs), and get ready to immerse yourself in the unique, communal spirit of hostel living.
Bronze, Silver, or Gold Hotel: The Podium of Comfort
If DreamVille is for the brave and hostels are for the thrifty, then the Bronze, Silver, and Gold hotels are for those who like their festival with a side of “Do Not Disturb” signs.
Choosing between the Bronze, Silver, and Gold hotels is like deciding how you want to spoil yourself. Bronze is for those who say, “I just need a bed and a shower,” while secretly loving the complimentary shampoo. Silver ups the ante with slightly fluffier towels and an extra pillow for that luxurious touch. Gold? Gold is for the “I’ve danced my feet off, and now I shall retire to my palace” crowd.
Whether you’re a budget bronze, a sophisticated silver, or a glamorous gold kind of sleeper, Tomorrowland has a hotel tier for you. It’s like choosing your own adventure, where every level up comes with fluffier pillows and more exquisite service.
Tomorrowland Theme Hotel: Where Dreams and DJs Meet
For an even more enhanced festival experience, the Tomorrowland Theme Hotel immerses its guests in the fantasy world of Tomorrowland. Every detail, from the decor to the staff uniforms, reflects the festival’s themes and stories, creating a magical environment. Imagine checking into a place where the vibe is so in tune with Tomorrowland, that you half expect the elevator to drop you off at the main stage.
Need to get festival-ready? The on-site barbers, hairdressers, and makeup artists are your glam squad, ensuring you look like the headliner of your own Tomorrowland story every day. And when the day’s adventures leave you famished, a midnight snack awaits to refuel your energy for round two (or three, or four).
So, if you’re eager to keep the Tomorrowland spirit alive from dawn till dream, the Tomorrowland Theme Hotel is your enchanted castle. It’s the perfect setup for those who want the magic of Tomorrowland to extend beyond the festival grounds, ensuring the vibe never dies, not even in your sleep because in here, the magic of Tomorrowland isn’t just an event, but a 24/7 experience.
Theme hotels are perfect for those who want their accommodations to be as memorable as the festival itself. It’s where every moment is an Instagram story waiting to happen, and every night is an adventure that doesn’t require leaving the building.
Concept Hotel: Sleep, But Make It Art
Diving into Tomorrowland’s Global Journey and craving something more than just a snooze fest between beats? Enter the realm of concept hotels, where every stay is less “nighty night” and more “once upon a time.”
The Concept Hotel is where you stay if you want your dreams curated. It’s not just a bed. It’s a full sensory experience. Envision stepping into a hotel where the design and ambience reflect a dedication to creativity and inspiration. One might immerse you in a vibrant art scene, with interiors that double as canvas and gallery, sparking your imagination at every turn. Another could be a serene escape that pays homage to the tranquillity and beauty of nature, with rooms themed around botanical gardens, floral wonders, or tropical paradises, offering a peaceful retreat from the day’s excitement.
With concept hotels, Tomorrowland’s Global Journey offers you a chance to dive deeper into the festival’s ethos, extending the celebration of music, art, and community into every moment of your stay. So, if your idea of a good night involves more than just closing your eyes, the Concept Hotel awaits. It’s an invitation to sleep, yes, but to make it art. Because why settle for a mere hotel stay when you can have a night at the museum?
Summary
Whether you’re all about the camping life, mingling with fellow music lovers, or you’re aiming for a 5-star hotel stay where the only thing wild is your dance moves, the Tomorrowland Global Journey has got your back (and your bed). Regardless of which accommodation option you choose, Tomorrowland goes above and beyond to ensure that your stay contributes to the overall magic of the festival.
Remember, picking your festival castle is not just about lodging; it’s about opening the book to the next chapter of your Tomorrowland journey.
Festival tickets
We all know trying to snatch Tomorrowland tickets is a bit like participating in the digital Hunger Games.
However, this time the odds are ever in your favour because you’ve got that golden ticket called Global Journey! Say goodbye to the virtual jungle of endless clicks and desperate refreshes. With the Global Journey Package, the legendary Full Madness Pass – the key to unlocking the festival kingdom is guaranteed and included in your package. It’s your all-access pass to a musical utopia, a VIP invitation to dance, dream, and dive into the heart of the action.
No more crossing fingers, waiting in virtual queues or desperately refreshing web pages. No more wishing upon shooting stars (though feel free to do so for other life ambitions) as the “Sold Out” sign mocks your efforts, vanquishing hopes and dreams with a single blow, leaving countless would-be attendees in the digital dust. Oh no, you’re royalty, escorted straight to the front of the line with a golden ticket called the Global Journey package.
But wait, there’s more! All Global Journey packages (flight, train and bus) come with the Comfort Pass. It’s a beacon of exclusivity in a sea of the standard, granting you access to premium areas not available to the mere mortals of the festival grounds.
So, while the quest for tickets may seem like a daunting journey filled with trials and tribulations, the Global Journey package is your secret weapon, turning “Sold Out” nightmares into “See You There” dreams. While there’s no customization, you do get to choose which weekend you want to experience the magic: the first or the second.
Shuttle between your accommodation and Tomorrowland
With Global Journey, transportation isn’t just a means to an end. It’s an essential part of the journey, designed to keep you comfortable and stress-free throughout your festival experience.
Firstly as you step off the plane or glide into the train station in Belgium, there are shuttles waiting to take you to your accommodation.
Then each day of the festival, these shuttles take you from your accommodation straight to the heart of the action, without a care in the world (except maybe which DJ to catch first). No parking worries, no navigation headaches – just sit back, relax, and maybe even make some new friends along the way! And when the final beat drops and the lights dim, fear not! There’s another shuttle ready to take you back to your sanctuary, where you can recharge for the next day’s adventures.
Disclaimer: If you’ve chosen DreamVille accommodation, you’re in luck! As it’s located right within Tomorrowland, shuttle services to the festival grounds aren’t necessary – simply step out of your tent and you’re there!😎 However, Global Journey still provides shuttles to transport you to and from the airport or train station, both before and after the festival.
Additional parties and activities
Extra Party (for those who check in on Thursday or Wednesday)
If you arrive in Belgium on Thursday or earlier, as a Global Journey traveller, you’re treated to an exclusive invitation to the ‘Invited’ party in Brussels or the ‘Gathering’ if you’re bunking at DreamVille.
Now, these pre-festival parties aren’t your ordinary gatherings or old get-togethers. Oh no, they’re like mini Tomorrowlands in their own right, with one stage but all the same incredible vibes and energy! Think of them as a sneak peek of the epicness that’s about to unfold over the weekend. They are also the perfect opportunity to meet new people from all around the world, connect, bond, and to soak up the infectious energy that Tomorrowland is famous for.
It’s like scoring an extra day of festival euphoria at no extra cost! However, the lineup is a closely guarded secret. The DJs set to perform are usually kept under wraps until the last minute, adding an extra element of surprise and excitement to the attendees.
Extra Trip (for those who check in on Wednesday)
If you arrive to Belgium even one day earlier (on Wednesday), you’re in for a treat with the Belgian Journey. Your adventure kicks off with a bang, offering extra activities before the main event. By Thursday you’re diving into a Belgian city with a bunch of other Tomorrowlanders. Don’t worry, you’ll be back for the evening party. You’ll explore cool spots and try tasty local food that’ll make your taste buds happy. It’s like a crash course in culture and food, and you’re right at the front!
SPA Day (for those who check out on Tuesday)
And for those who leave on Tuesday, the fun doesn’t end just yet! You’re invited to enjoy additional activities like The Garden of Elements. It’s your post-Tomorrowland oasis, waiting to soothe your festival-worn soul. Imagine yoga, quiet time under the trees, and maybe even a spa treatment. It’s like hitting the reset button, preparing you for the real world again, one relaxing moment at a time.
Gifts
Global Journey doesn’t just offer an adventure—it comes with gifts too! While it varies from one year to another, let’s take 2023 as an example. Travellers received a Tomorrowland-branded bag, a Jenga set, and a journal to document all those unforgettable moments (or just to doodle in when you’re feeling inspired). Additionally every morning, you’d wake up to find the Tomorrowland newspaper waiting for you, packed with exciting news about what’s happening at the festival. And to keep you hydrated while you dance the day away, you’d also get complimentary water bottles on some occasions.

And let’s not forget about those exclusive pre-festival parties where you’re bound to meet fellow adventurers with stories as wild as yours.
With Global Journey, it’s not just about getting to Tomorrowland—it’s about making memories and friends along the way. Think of it as your personal matchmaker, but instead of setting you up on awkward blind dates, it pairs you with potential new besties from all corners of the globe.
