New Strictly line up for P&O’s themed summer cruises

As you may know P&O over the past years have introduced Strictly Come Dancing themed cruises on selected itineraries. I’m a huge Strictly fan never missing an episode, I become completely engrossed in all the glitz and the glamour, the salsa and the foxtrot and of course the fantastic live shows held just up the road from where I live in Blackpool!

This summer the Strictly cruises will be packed with more stars and more sparkle than ever before. Each of this year’s four dedicated cruises will have two pairs of the programme’s professional dancers as well as judge Craig Revel Horwood.

Mark Foster, Lisa Riley and Patrick Robinson will also be travelling at different stages to offer a Strictly experience to remember.

On board you will be able to take regular dance classes hosted by Strictly stars Robin Windsor, Ian Waite or Camilla Dallerup. For those that love a competition you can take part in the dance competitions including the Grande finale performance in the main theatre…just as long as you are brave enough to be judged by Craig & the special celebrity guest!

This year will also bring personal interviews with the stars, photo opportunities and signing sessions.. and my favourite of all will be on board exhibitions and fashion events showing the stunning costumes with the hundreds of crystals and sequins!
