“Strictly Come Dancing” – back on board P&O Cruises in 2017!

Just when we thought everything was doom and gloom what with the Brexit referendum and political unrest in Europe P&O Cruises have only gone and come to the rescue by announcing “Strictly Come Dancing” is back on board P&O Cruises in 2017!

‘Hurray’ I hear you cry! That’s right, book now for more dazzling performances across the Mediterranean and Baltic from some of your favourite professional dancers and the (not at all choreographed) outspoken judges everyone loves to hate.

Sit back and enjoy the shows, or should you feel the urge, get in on the action and try the Tango, Quickstep or Salsa. Each cruise will feature a guest judge and four of the BBC’s show’s favourite professional dancers with the opportunity to meet them and maybe learn a move or two from the experts themselves during the regular dance classes on board. The Strictly team will offer up close and personal interviews on board, photo and meet and greet opportunities, and spectacular Strictly Come Dancing showcase performances produced by BBC Worldwide.

P&O Cruises will also be joined by a team from DanceSport International, suppliers of dresses and costumes to the show. A stunning selection of these costumes will be on display around the ship, and available to buy, with organised fashion events to showcase them at their very best. The highlight of the two-week cruises is the passenger dance competition which culminates in a grand finale performance in the ship’s main theatre, with a judging panel including a Strictly professional dancer and guest judge, so get practicing!

P&O Cruises senior vice president Paul Ludlow said: “We are the only holiday company to have this partnership with one of the country’s best loved shows and these Strictly themed cruises appeal to people who can dance, want to learn to dance or just like to admire the glitz and glamour in person.”

So what are you waiting for? The Strictly professional dancers and judges who will be on board each cruise will be announced later in the year but the cruises are available to book now, check out the dates and rates!
