But fans of holidays at sea needn’t lose heart as P&O Cruises has just revealed its 2018 roster of sailings featuring stars from Strictly Come Dancing. Each cruise will host several of Strictly’s professional dancers, captivating guests with incredible, show-stopping routines. The line up of professional dancers includes: Janette Manrara, Aljaz Skorjanec, Giovanni Pernice, Dianne Buswell, Pasha Kovalev and Anya Garnis. Also joining all four cruises is judge Craig Revel Horwood who, along with the Strictly stars, will offer up close and personal interviews on board, meet and greet opportunities, and spectacular Strictly Come Dancing showcases.

These cruises are: a 14-night ‘Spain, France & Italy’ sailing on Azura departing 13 April which has Strictly stars Dianne Buswell, Gorka Marquez, Neil Jones, Katya Jones, AJ Pritchard and Chloe Hewitt.

The highlight of these two-week cruises is the guest dance competition, which culminates in a grand finale performance in the ship’s main theatre, with a judging panel including Craig Revel Horwood and a Strictly professional dancer. New for 2018 are private one-to-one dance lessons with pro dancers from the show. Also for the first time, guests can enjoy an exclusive dinner hosted by the show’s dancers in one of the ship’s restaurants.
