Drag Stars at Sea is an entertainment experience designed for everyone looking for a great time! It’s three days packed with shows, events, and fun that anyone can enjoy. All (adult) ages, genders, sexual orientations, and anything else you can think of is welcome onboard!

The minimum age for our guests is 18. Guests between 18 and 21 must travel with a companion over the age of 25, staying in the same stateroom.

We have an extravagant lineup of talent onboard in multiple venues. You can try to see it all, and many of our stars will perform more than once. But it’s impossible to see them all! (And all shows are included, of course!)

Everyone is on this ship together, and our stars will be out and about with you. We are not organizing specific “meet and greet” experiences, but there will be plenty of chances to connect.

You bet. Meeting new people is the most valued part of the experience for most of our guests, and it's why so many guests return again and again. Every one of our events is chock full of shows, parties, events, and gatherings that make it easy for you to introduce yourself to other guests. And we have our friendly team here to facilitate fun and interactions.

At Sea Events is a charter company. We work with various suppliers (cruise lines and resorts) to take over their ships/resorts for a specific period of time, creating bespoke experiences for the charter/resort, including customized entertainment, parties, and itineraries. In order to do this, we enter into a contract with the cruise line/resort operator, typically a year or more in advance, granting At Sea exclusive use of the ship/resort for the specific period of time, including all staff, services, and amenities. At Sea then ‘owns’ the inventory of the cruise/resort, and in turn, markets and sells cabins/rooms for the contracted time period to our customers (as detailed in the Drag Stars Guest Reservation Terms and Conditions).

When At Sea Events enters into a charter agreement (or resort contract), we own the inventory of the ship/resort for the specific contractual period. We are contractually obligated to pay for this inventory upfront. Unlike the cruise lines/resort operators, we do not have multiple ships and an open calendar of dates to reschedule guests. We have designed our Cancellation and Transfer Policy to be fair and equitable, allowing for changes and cancellations with escalating cancellation charges over time, based on the cruise departure date (or resort start date). In the unlikely event that we cancel an event prior to departure (i.e. if the supplier is unable to fulfill their contractual obligation), we would refund all monies to our guests.
