During the last 17 years, he has predominantly performed on Oceania Cruises, where his wife, Dottie Kulasa, served as a distinguished cruise director.  Dottie retired on March 3, 2026, and has now joined Best at Sea Tours as President!  Throughout her 38-year career, she has been recognized as one of the industry’s most successful cruise directors.
 

Tom and Dottie have entertained thousands of guests globally across various cruise lines, including Norwegian Cruise Line, Holland America Line, and Oceania Cruises. In addition to his current engagements, Tom has performed on prestigious cruise lines such as Crystal, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, MSC, Princess, Regent Seven Seas, Azamara, and Carnival Cruise Lines.

Testimonials

From start to finish the whole organisation of my cruise was dealt with extremely professionally. The booking process was easy to complete and the information provided was very helpful and covered everything I needed. When we arrived the pre-cruise get together was great to get to know our fellow traveler's. The whole cruise was superb and the extra get togethers were a real nice touch. The meal in the Vintage Room was simply beyond compare. In summary my whole experience with Best At Sea tours was exceptional and most importantly it was seamless. Thank you guys so much!

Best At Sea Tours and Tom Drake equal Awesome. The entire trip was beyond fabulous. A pre cruise night at the Conrad Hotel, hosted group dinner at P J Clarke’s, transportation to the ship and the best group we have ever traveled with. The Crystal Serenity was luxurious. Our suite was beautiful. All meals were superbly prepared. The service was impeccable. The seven course wine pairing dinner in The Vintage Room was 5 Star Plus. This was our second booking thru Best At Sea Tours. We look forward to many more great experiences.

Just returned from the first cruise hosted by Best at Sea Tours. It was a flawless experience from beginning to end on Crystal Serenity. Great perks included and what a fabulous group of people. Can’t wait until next time. You’ll never go wrong with Tom and Dottie.
