This year’s theme is 'Burlesque' with sponsors, Playboy and Vida E Café, who will be introducing a whole new wave of glamorous absurdity, hot moves and sultry vibes – a Burlesque extravaganza extraordinaire.

Meet up with our hunky seafarers on the quayside when the ship docks and you get to board the Phantom Ship to the sound of marimba, have your picture taken, dressed in your finest burlesque outfits, where our 'cruise directress' and choreographer, Kevin Ellis, will drag you into the spirit of things and welcome you to the Upper Deck with goodie bags and loads of entertainment. Then sit back for a raunchy Burlesque show with sexy songstress, Lauren Laing, and well known Durban heart throb, Daniel Wessels, who came second in the High School Musical auditions, as well as being one of Damon Beard’s Man International Dance group, also flanked by four fabulously flashy dancers. Our shipshape 'cruise directress' will be going all out to get the ladies on their feet for a Burlesque Booty shake. There’ll be fun prizes for the most daring movers.

Then, get ready for flirtaceous fashion …. Our hunky Hot Burlesque Boys will walk the plank in a fashion show that features sexy smalls from Durban lingerie and swimwear designer Dax Martin. To take things completely over the top, we’ll end our daring display with Best Dressed, 'So You Think You Can Mince' and 'Toss Your Handbag Competitions'.

Decadent diners can sit back and savour oysters, fish and garden greens. Things will hot up with the likes of roast lamb and Thai seafood curry. To top it all, there’s cheese cake, chocolate mousse and malva pudding that’s guaranteed to hit the sweet spot.

So, dust off your corset and bring out the feathers and fancy fish net stockings. It’s anchors aweigh for Secretaries’ Day at uShaka Marine World! Tickets cost R280 per person. To book, contact Thresa Harker on 031 328 8008.
