When it comes to inclusive cruise ships, it doesn't get more exciting than [Queens Overboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lol-surprise-queens). Running in 2019 from February 2nd until February 9th, the fourth annual installment of this drag cruise welcomes everyone on the gorgeous [Celebrity Equinox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebrity-cruises1).

The activities on the ship are curated to celebrate bold behaviors and the freedom of expression — from the Queens Overboard Kick-Off Show to Heklina's Drag Bingo and Peaches' Movie Night. There will be special performances by talents like "the incredible Jinkx Monsoon," as well.

The inclusive cruise welcomes individuals of different backgrounds, sexual orientations, and identities, bringing them together to celebrate the [LGBTQ](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/queens-of-the-metaverse) community. In addition, Queens Overboard will host a few planned on-land excursions that are yet to be announced.
