P&O Cruises has announced Strictly Come Dancing themed holidays with the stars. Craig Revel Horwood will once again be in charge, passing judgment on the dancers who will all be hoping to hear his famous catchphrase: “Three words: Fab-u-lous!”
2016 winner Ore Oduba will join Ventura in April for cruise (N711) where he will be reunited with his Strictly pro partner Jo Clifton.
In addition to Joanne Clifton, this year’s Strictly favourites who will be dancing on the decks include Giovanni Pernice and Oti Mabuse, Karen and Kevin Clifton, Gorka Marquez, Neil and Katya Jones, AJ Pritchard and Chloe Hewitt, Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec and Oksana Platero.
A P&O cruises spokesperson said: “As the only holiday company to have this partnership with one of the country’s best loved shows, we are thrilled to welcome Craig Revel Horwood and the Strictly dancers back onboard. We are also delighted to have last year’s winner Ore join us on board. These Strictly themed cruises have huge appeal – those who can dance, those who want to learn to dance or those who just like to sit back and admire the glitz and glamour in person.”
This year, P&O Cruises has four dedicated Strictly Come Dancing themed cruises, in partnership with BBC Worldwide Ltd. Featuring all the pizzazz of the TV show, each cruise will host four of Strictly’s professional dancers, captivating guests with incredible, show-stopping routines.
