Strictly’s Craig Revel-Horwood goes to sea with P&O Cruises

Fans of Strictly Come Dancing can join the stars of the show next summer on two P&O Cruises holidays ... and perhaps find out what it's like to be on the receiving end of acerbic judge Craig Revel-Horwood.

P&O Cruises will have top names from the highly-rated BBC programme on two Oriana cruises – a 12-night Canary Islands cruise on May 28 and a 14-night Fjords cruise on July 14.

Passengers can learn how to jive, foxtrot, rumba, quickstep and more from the professionals and join Revel-Horwood, pictured, for a night in the theatre.

As some of Strictly Come Dancing’s most loved professionals show off their award-winning routines, passengers will also be able to see a collection of the exquisitely intricate costumes worn by the celebrities and stars this series.

P&O Cruises managing director, Carol Marlow said: “We are so excited to bring the magic of the Strictly ballroom to Oriana this summer. Our passengers will be able to learn with the professional dancers, watch extraordinary show dances and hear some of the secrets of this global phenomenon.”

Richard Halliwell, commercial brand director of Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing With The Stars, said: “The Strictly brand is very well suited to an ocean cruise given the heady mixture of elegance, romance, high-class entertainment and exhilarating destinations. We’re very excited about this new adventure with P&O Cruises and I believe Craig Revel-Horwood has already packed his bags!” 

Prices for Oriana’s 12 night Canary Islands cruise departing May 28 start at £1,349 per person. Departing from and returning to Southampton, ports of call are Ponta Delgada, Horta, Madeira, Gran Canaria, Lisbon and Vigo.
