Waltz along the Danube with the stars of Strictly
Watch Anton du Beke and Erin Boag dance live on a brilliant eight- day cruise
IT’S one of the most popular shows on TV and fans are counting down the days until the next series of Strictly Come Dancing hits our screens. Only one professional dancer has appeared in every series so far – the charming Anton du Beke – and last year he came as close as he ever has to winning the Glitterball trophy, finishing runnerup with his celebrity partner, East-Enders actress Emma Barton.
If you have always wanted to see Anton perform live – or even meet him in person – this is your chance to join him and his long-term professional dance partner and fellow Strictly favourite Erin Boag on an exclusive eight-day Danube river cruise.
Travelling on a stylish Emerald Waterways Star Ship, you will sail from Passau with stops at Linz and the Unesco World Heritage- listed town of Cesky Krumlov.
You’ll pass terraced vineyards and apricot orchards on the way to Melk, before visiting three of Europe’s great capitals – Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest.
You will see Anton and Erin perform at an intimate and historic venue in the Austrian capital, plus the pair will take part in a special dance masterclass on board.
Anton and Erin will also host an entertaining Q& A session, during which you can ask them about their lives and careers and find out what goes on behind the scenes on Strictly.
One Mail on Sunday reader, who enjoyed this special trip when we previously offered it, said: ‘It’s been such a wonderful experience seeing Anton and Erin perform. I cannot imagine anything better.’ REASONS TO BOOK
