Around the World with The Diva

Virgin Voyages’ “Around the World with The Diva” is one of the few 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 Red Room. Exclusively on Valiant Lady this show includes performances from dancers alongside The Diva.

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 dance routines, coupled with their striking costumes, set the stage for an unforgettable show. As the Diva travels ‘around the world’, they incorporate different cultural elements into their performances, engaging the audience with a wide range of musical styles and dance routines.
