Ew, David! 'Schitt's Creek' cruise to set sail next March
Pack your favorite wigs, prepare your T-Rex arms pose and book a pre-cruise stay at the Rosebud Motel because a "Schitt's Creek"-themed voyage sets sail in 2023.
Brought to you by Flip Phone, the same Minneapolis-based events company that operates the "Golden Fans at Sea" cruise and drag shows in several major cities, "Moira's Party Boat: Ew, Cruising" will take over Celebrity Summit from March 30 to April 3, 2023, for a partial charter.
The voyage is based on the hit riches-to-rags television show about a quirky family that loses everything and is forced to relocate to a small town its patriarch purchased as a joke.
The four-night, five-day, sailing is set to travel round trip from Miami with calls on Key West and Nassau, in the Bahamas, offering cruisers just enough time to soak up some sun, fun and plenty of alcohol.
The voyage will include special themed events like the "Fruit, Wine and Fold in the Cheese Dinner," "Alexis' Bar Crawl," "Night of 1,000 Moiras" and a party to celebrate "The Crowening."
Organizers are also planning a sailaway party, gameshows, trivia, karaoke, a Jazzagals performance and even a costume contest where passengers can dress up as their favorite characters. (Who is your favorite, and why is it David?)
Fares for this sailing start at $999.99 per person for an inside cabin, and they include a basic drink and Wi-Fi packages, as well as prepaid crew gratuities for the first two people in each cabin. (Third and fourth passengers receive prepaid gratuities only.) The most expensive accommodations -- Celebrity Cruises' Royal Suites -- start at $3,999.99.
Note that anyone wishing to book this sailing must do so directly through the Moira's Party Boat website in order to have access to the listed activities. Because it's a themed sailing, fares are not refundable if you choose to cancel. (However, if Celebrity Cruises cancels the voyage, you will receive a full refund.)
Although the voyage's website doesn't mention guest appearances by the cast, what you can expect are plenty of drag queens looking a lot like Moira Rose.
The cruise industry is no stranger to themed sailings, which pay homage to popular television shows, music and even hobbies like crocheting, Broadway or NASCAR.
In the TV genre, some of the most successful theme cruises have included the "Walker Stalker Cruise," which hosted stars from "The Walking Dead;" "Sailing With the Scotts," featuring appearances by twin "Property Brothers" Drew and Jonathan Scott; and voyages based on other hit shows, such as "Dancing With the Stars" and "Top Chef."
