The battle for the coveted Strictly Come Dancing glitterball trophy is growing in popularity, with only a few weeks left until the sequined final. Guaranteed presence is Anton Du Beke, who this year has moved into his right seat next to Craig, Motsi and Shirley as if it was made for him.

After flying to Budapest, travel on a stylish Emerald Cruises Star-Ship, with stops in Austria’s Linz and the UNESCO-listed Czech city of Cesky Krumlov.

OUR SPECIAL GUESTS

You will be accompanied by Anton and Erin

Anton Du Beke and Erin Boag have danced together for two decades and are two of Britain’s all-time favorite ballroom stars. Their charisma, chemistry and sparkling choreography have amazed audiences all over the world. Fondly known as the King of Ballroom, Anton holds the record as Strictly’s longest serving professional dancer.

This memorable journey takes you to three of Europe’s great capitals, Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest, passing terraced vineyards and apricot orchards en route to Melk and Durnstein in Austria.

In the Austrian capital, you’ll see Anton and Erin perform in an intimate and historic venue, and the pair will also take part in a special interactive dance masterclass on board the ship.

Anton and Erin will also host an entertaining question-and-answer session where you can ask them about their lives and careers and find out what really goes on behind the scenes of Strictly. A Mail reader said of an earlier trip: ‘It was such an amazing experience to see Anton and Erin perform. I can’t imagine anything better.’
