It was a journey like no other. From April 16th to May 14th, 2023, I had the incredible opportunity to be part of the show “It’s a Shipshow” on the Virgin Voyages cruise ship. My guest contract spanned an entire month, and what a time it was!
Cabaret on the High Seas
The show itself was a classic cabaret performance, featuring a fantastic live band, a talented singer, charming hosts, enchanting dancers, and various impressive artistic acts. But here’s the twist: the show took place in the theater known as “The Manor,” while guests could dine simultaneously. This added a unique atmosphere to the performance.
From Miami Through the Caribbean
The journey began in Miami, taking us through the stunning Caribbean before embarking on an adventurous voyage to Europe. Along the way, we visited fascinating cities in the Mediterranean before finally disembarking in Barcelona.
Life as a Guest Artist
What made this experience even more memorable was the fact that, with a guest contract, I was treated like a “Sailor.” This meant not only having a cabin with a balcony but also the freedom to enjoy all the restaurants on board and explore the visited ports extensively.
A Career Highlight
It was almost like a vacation, and I can say that this fantastic contract was a highlight of my artistic career. These months at sea will undoubtedly remain etched in my memory forever.
Date, place and occasion are enough to start. A concrete offer follows promptly by email.
