Killing Kittens – Where It Began
Killing Kittens was born out of frustration, a response to the constraints and norms that seemed to surround and stifle women.
Back in 2005, the world was a very different place. Sex was still seen through a predominantly male lens, and the idea of female sexual empowerment was almost taboo. Women were expected to adhere to societal roles that didn’t leave much room for experimentation or expressing desires. I wanted to change that. I wanted to create an environment where women could embrace their desires on their own terms, free from judgment and free from the societal pressures that had been dictating behavior for so long.
So, we started with parties – wild, decadent, but always with an undertone of empowerment and respect. Killing Kittens was never just about sex. It was about connection, tearing down the walls that kept women’s desires out of the conversation, and building up a space where everyone, regardless of gender, could feel free to explore who they were without shame. The events became infamous, and rightly so, because they represented something that was sorely lacking: freedom. The kind of freedom that allows people to strip away not just their clothes, but societal labels and expectations, too.
Introducing The KK Cruise
Now, fast forward to today, and here we are, on the brink of something new — the KK Cruise. Why a cruise, you ask? It’s a natural progression of everything Killing Kittens stands for: freedom, exploration, and community. We’ve always been about experiences, and a cruise offers the ultimate playground for adventure, but with a twist that disrupts the norms of the traditional cruise scene. Cruising has always had a certain reputation — something indulgent, but also very safe, very predictable. But what if you could bring our brand of hedonistic freedom and connection to that setting? What if you could mix the elegance of yachting in Monte Carlo with the raw, authentic energy of a Killing Kittens event?
The KK Cruise is not about sex – at least, not in the way people might think. It’s about people who live life on their own terms. It’s for people who embrace a hedonistic lifestyle, who want to indulge in unforgettable experiences. Yes, sex happens — it’s part of who we are — but it’s not the goal. The goal is simple: to live and truly live, with every sense awakened and every connection deep and genuine. The cruise is about bringing like-minded people together, those who crave something more than just a break from their day-to-day lives. In short, those who yearning for something extraordinary.
We’ve designed this cruise to be a journey in every sense of the word. We’ve woven in elements that evoke the true Killing Kittens spirit.
Your KK Journey On Board
Picture this: You start your day with yoga on deck, the ocean stretching endlessly around you. A wellness workshop follows – not the kind you’d find at your typical retreat, but one that leaves you feeling genuinely connected to yourself. Mixology classes, wine tastings, cooking lessons that teach you how to bring sensuality into every bite. These experiences are about pleasure in every form, from taste to touch to thought.
Onshore, it’s more of the same but with the added glamour of locations like Monte Carlo. We’re talking exclusive vineyard tours, intimate yachting experiences, and walks through places most people only dream of visiting. It’s a celebration of life, and it’s done with the style and flair that Killing Kittens is known for. We bring the infamous KK energy to each experience, but we keep it elegant, accessible, and authentic.
And then, as the sun goes down, the mood shifts. The notorious Killing Kittens nights begin. Think: sultry, luxurious, a little bit decadent – the kind of nights that leave you with stories to tell and memories that last a lifetime. But it’s much more than just the parties. It’s the people you meet. People who, like you, are curious, adventurous, and unafraid to live life fully. It’s the sense of belonging that only comes when you’re surrounded by others who just get it; who understand that real freedom is not just about what you do, but about who you do it with.
The Answer For Those Searching For More
The cruise is our answer to those who want more — more experiences, more connection, more moments that make you feel alive. We’re disrupting the cruise industry in the same way we disrupted the events space nearly two decades ago.
We’re bringing our values of empowerment, freedom, and inclusivity to a setting that has always been indulgent, but rarely revolutionary. We’re showing that luxury and freedom can go hand in hand, and that a cruise can be more than just a holiday. It can be a celebration of everything that makes life worth living.
At the end of the day, that’s what Killing Kittens has always been about. Not only sex, not just parties, but creating spaces where people can come together, be vulnerable, and experience the best parts of being alive.
Whether it’s on land or at sea, we’re here to challenge the norms, to disrupt what’s expected, and to bring people together in ways that are real, honest, and unapologetically open. The KK Cruise is just the latest chapter in that story, and I can’t wait to see where it takes us next.
