Fly from Cork or Dublin to Southampton and board the Ventura for a fantastic cruise experience.

Get up close to the costumes that wow us on TV every week. Meet the talent behind the show-stopping tailoring on this Strictly Come Dancing themed cruise.

What you can expect

Get ready to Rumba near Rome. Strut your stuff in the Bay of Biscay. Do the Jive in Gibraltar or a Tango in Toulon. You can enjoy the action from the audience or don your dance shoes and take part yourself.

Either way, this is your chance to get closer to the pro dancers, the sequins, and all the sparkle of Strictly.

Who will be on board?

There are so many stars you can shimmy at sea with next year. Dancers will be announced soon!

New: One-to-one dance lessons

Are you a Strictly super fan? If you dream of meeting the show’s dancers, we can offer you an unforgettable experience.

New for Strictly Come Dancing themed cruises in 2018, we’re offering private one-to-one dance lessons with pro dancers from the series, so you can glide across the floor with one of the magnificent movers.

Or, if you’d prefer a more relaxing encounter, you could enjoy a glamorous dinner hosted by one of them in the chic setting of a Select Dining restaurant, bookable on board.

Rub sequined shoulders with the pros

You’re used to seeing the pro dancers in your living room, but on a Strictly Come Dancing themed cruise you could bump into them in person.

Receive personal dedications (plus killer dance tips) at autograph sessions and hear stories straight from the shows in our intimate Q&A events.

You’ll need your sunglasses; it’s a dazzling sensation on board a Strictly Come Dancing themed cruise. Get up close to the costumes that wow us every week and meet the talent behind the show-stopping tailoring.

Your cruise route

Join Ventura in Southampton and discover the varied cultures of the Mediterranean. Explore a collection of magnificent cathedrals, grand castles and fortified ancient towns

The ‘City of Light’ will dazzle you, as will Gaudi’s modernist masterpieces. From Livorno, climb Pisa’s leaning tower or delve into Florence’s Renaissance riches. From Civitavecchia, uncover the boundless gems in the Eternal City of Rome.

With UNESCO World Heritage Sites at almost every turn, you’ll have plenty of time to explore ashore with full days in most ports.

Then, after rounding the Pillars of Hercules in Gibraltar (not to mention some fantastic duty-free shopping), it’s a leisurely couple of days home to Southampton.

The Strictly Come Dancing cruise also sails in April, June and July.
