Around the World in 80 Minutes with The Diva
Virgin Voyages’ “Around the World in 80 Minutes with The Diva” is the most exhilarating drag show at sea. The ship’s resident drag queen navigates the audience through a global adventure with vibrant performances of dance, singing, and lip-syncing within The Manor or Red Room depending on the ship.
The Red Room Version
Exclusively on Valiant Lady this show will be performed with additional dancers in the Red Room as a headline event. This allows for a larger scale version with a similar story and structure to The Manor version.
The Manor Version
On Resilient Lady & Scarlet Lady The Manor version of the show is structured into two parts. There is a brief intermission that allows guests the opportunity to refresh their drinks. You do not need to book for this event and can simply add it to your agenda. Presented in a cabaret style, guests can sip on a drink while they indulge in the performance, facilitating a lively and relaxed atmosphere. The event is typically scheduled on sea days in the afternoon but occasionally will also have a late night version.
The Performance
The show tells the tale of The Diva and her voyage around the world, with some hijinks, laughs and dance breaks in-between you must help The Diva escape the perils of being marooned on a deserted island.
The Divas are the resident drag queens on each of Virgin Voyages’ ships, are celebrated for their talent and showmanship. Their outstanding dance routines, coupled with their striking costumes, set the stage for an unforgettable show.

Guest Participation

- The Diva will come out into the crowd and select 2 members of the audience to be ‘the mother’ of their respective sides of the venue. This is just a bit of fun and doesn’t really affect the rest of the show.
- During a fun song about travelling the world The Diva will ask some guests to help hold her bunting ‘flags of all nations’ so she can dance beneath it.
- The Diva will ask 2 audience members to play a game involving chasing beach balls up and down the venue.
- Finally, The Diva will host a lip-sync contest with two guests who will perform their own fabulously un-rehearsed version of ‘Man I feel Like a Woman’ but Shania Twain.
Anyone who is asked to get up on stage will be offered a free ‘Yass Queen’ cocktail as a prize, which is champagne with grenadine.
