Strictly coming to the Rivers? well why not it seems to be everywhere else doesn’t it these days. THE RIVER CRUISE LINE is launching a cruise this year that will be appealing to all the dancers out there and who enjoy River Cruising too. It sets sail in October of this year so all the glitz and glamour of the ballroom will be taken to Europe’s great Rivers for the Autumn programme, it will be transferred from the big Ocean going vessels to the small and less formal River Cruise Ships.

Strictly River Cruising – will be on board the companies MPS Lady Anne and will cruise along the gorgeous River Rhine  & Moselle Rivers which I enjoyed last year. Two professional dance teachers are going to be joining the crew and passengers for the 8 day sailing and will be teaching and leading organised dances. From an afternoon tea dance to an evening ballroom dance, so lots of opportunities to learn how to Fox Trot, Waltz, Tango etc with your other half or even better your best friend and with like minded people. Then when you are finished it will be time for a restful walk or a visit to the riverside towns such as Cohem, Bernkastel, Koblenz and Rudesheim.

Prices are from just £799.00 each and include full board on the ship, your coach pick-up & ferry crossing,  Due to popularity places are sure to be snapped up.
