Get ready to trade your sea legs for stilettos as Drag Me to Sea cruises into queer pop culture history! Departing from Los Angeles on March 8, 2026, this over-the-top oceanic extravaganza aboard the luxurious Norwegian Bliss will be hosted by none other than drag icon and comedy queen Mrs. Kasha Davis. With 15 world-famous drag artists on board, this floating festival of fabulosity promises more than just a vacation: it will be a full-throttle, wigs-to-the-wall celebration of community, camp and charisma.
“I love a cruise! A buffet, the open seas, incredible entertainment, cocktails (or strong coffee in my case), sun, fun and sass! What more could anyone ask for in March of 2026?!” beams Davis, who describes herself as “your overenthusiastic Auntie” bringing old-school camp, dad jokes in a dress, and always a dash of kindness.
With stops in Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlán, guests can look forward to tropical adventures mixed with high-octane glamour, both onboard and ashore.
And while drinks are included – “Drink up!” quips Davis with a wink – the real buzz is the star-studded lineup. Alongside RuPaul’s Drag Race favourites like Detox, Darienne Lake and Thorgy Thor (who promises to be “on volume 10 for 24 hours a day!”), the cruise will feature legendary drag icons including Varla Jean Merman, Dixie Longate, Sister Roma, Aggy Dune, Ambrosia Salad, Ethylina Canne, Jewels Long Beach and Carmen Adore.
Expect it all: bingo, brunches, intimate cabarets, theme nights and spectacular stage shows – plus plenty of unfiltered, unforgettable interactions both in and out of drag. “You might end up having a cocktail, a poolside chat or even some private sauna time with one of these divas,” Davis teases. “I don’t judge.”
But this isn’t just about glitz and gags. Drag Me to Sea proudly celebrates the diversity and legacy of drag beyond the mainstream. “All too often drag companies only hire the youngest of queens,” Davis notes. “We’re showcasing performers who’ve been around the block – sometimes twice! – and who know exactly how to captivate a crowd and make you think and feel through their art.”
From photo ops and Q&As to late-night dance parties and spontaneous moments in the buffet line, Drag Me to Sea ensures no guest is just a spectator. “You’ll be vacationing with the queens,” Davis promises. “Memories will be made.”
At its core, Drag Me to Sea is about joy and connection. “We need each other now more than ever,” says Davis. “And we’re bringing all the joy we’ve got. Honestly, every queen on the roster holds a special place in my old dying heart. I’m thrilled we’re doing this together.”
So, pack your sunblock, Advil, fibre supplements and a fistful of dollar bills – and get ready to sashay, slay and possibly cry-laugh your way across the Pacific. Because on this cruise, they’re not just sailing…they’re serving.
