A brand-new type of charter is coming to Virgin Voyages next month, and it’s making waves for all the right reasons. Atlantis Events has announced Drag Stars at Sea, a 3-night cruise packed with world-class entertainment and an all-star cast of drag royalty.

Sailing from Miami on Valiant Lady from May 29 to June 1, 2025, this short but star-studded charter offers a high-energy festival-style experience with prices starting from just $499 per person.

New Event Type for Atlantis Events

While Atlantis is best known for their LGBTQ+ party cruises, Drag Stars is the company’s first event created with a broader audience in mind. Though still rooted in queer culture, this new format welcomes all travelers to enjoy a weekend of dazzling shows, interactive entertainment, and community spirit.

The lineup for this debut sailing includes some of the biggest names in drag particularly those from Rupaul’s Drag Race:

• Bianca Del Rio
• Bob the Drag Queen
• Alyssa Edwards
• Trinity the Tuck
• Sugar & Spice
• Plus more surprise performers onboard

The cruise sets sail immediately following Atlantis’ 5-night Memorial Day charter, filling a previously unscheduled 3-night window on Valiant Lady’s calendar.

Cruise Itinerary

Here’s what to expect during the voyage:

• Thursday, May 29 – Depart Miami at 7:00 PM
• Friday, May 30 – Bimini, Bahamas (9:00 AM to 6:00 PM)
• Saturday, May 31 – Slay Day at Sea
• Sunday, June 1 – Return to Miami at 7:00 AM

A New Era of Themed Voyages

Drag Stars is the first in a planned series of themed charters from Atlantis, designed to expand their appeal. Future events are expected to spotlight music, food, wellness, and pop culture – all with the same attention to detail and inclusive energy that has defined Atlantis for over 35 years.

For those who’ve always been curious about Virgin Voyages or are looking for a more affordable way to experience the line, this new weekend option offers a chance to try something different without committing to a longer sailing.
