See Anton and Erin – and sail to three great capitals

-

CELEBRITIE­S are once again battling it out on Saturday nights hoping to win Strictly Come Dancing’s glitterbal­l trophy, with Anton Du Beke, everyone’s favourite profession­al, now one of the judges.

But if you’d like to see Anton back on the dancefloor, here’s your chance by joining him and his long-term dance partner and fellow Strictly favourite, Erin Boag, on a fabulous and exclusive eight-day Danube river cruise.

After flying to Budapest, you’ll travel on a stylish Emerald Cruises Star-Ship, with stops at Linz in Austria and the Unesco World Heritageli­sted town of Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic.

After visiting three of Europe’s great capitals, Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest, you’ll sail past terraced vineyards and apricot orchards en route to Melk and Durnstein in Austria. You’ll watch Anton and Erin perform at an intimate and historic venue in the Austrian capital, and the pair will take part in an interactiv­e dance masterclas­s aboard ship.

Anton and Erin will also host an entertaini­ng question-and-answer session, during which you can ask them about their lives and careers and find out what really goes on behind the scenes on Strictly. One reader said of a previous trip: ‘It’s been such a wonderful experience seeing Anton and Erin perform. I cannot imagine anything better.’
