Virgin Voyages is trialing a new drag brunch-style experience aboard Scarlet Lady during its October 2026 transatlantic sailing. The event could eventually expand to other ships if the initial trial proves successful.

Called “Sip, Snack & Sass with The Diva,” the new experience combines bottomless bubbles, small bites and entertainment from the ship’s resident Diva.

A Drag Brunch Was Originally Planned for Razzle Dazzle

Longtime Virgin Voyages fans may remember that a drag brunch was originally planned for Razzle Dazzle before the cruise line launched in 2021.

However, the concept never made it into the final onboard entertainment lineup.

This new event could mark a return to that original idea, although it is taking place in The Manor rather than Razzle Dazzle.

What Is Sip, Snack & Sass with The Diva?

The event takes place in The Manor on Deck 6, with the first and only session on Wednesday, October 21, at 11 a.m. According to the Virgin Voyages app, sailors can expect bottomless bubbles, snacks and plenty of interaction with The Diva.

The description promises a daytime event filled with glamour, mischief and entertainment, although the exact format has not yet been confirmed.

The event costs $25 per sailor, and reservations are available through the Virgin Voyages app.

Could the Event Expand Across the Fleet?

For now, Sip, Snack & Sass with The Diva is being tested aboard Scarlet Lady during its transatlantic voyage. The full extent of the experience remains unclear, and Virgin Voyages has not confirmed a fleetwide rollout.

However, the trial could help determine whether the event becomes a regular addition to the entertainment lineup across Virgin Voyages’ ships.

On Scarlet Lady the Diva also performs Lights, Camera, Drag in The Manor.
