Pop Idol star will join P&O mini-cruise
Pop Idol star Gareth Gates is to join a two-night cruise on P&O’s Oceana for three special performances.
He will perform in the 500-seat Footlights theatre on board the cruise departing Southampton on September 3.
He will then pose for photos and sign autographs.


The cruise calls in Bruges, from Zeebrugge, and will return to Southampton.
Balcony cabins are available and priced from £406 per person based on two sharing on a full board basis including all main meals and entertainment, including the Gareth Gates performance.


Gates said: "I'm really excited about performing on board Oceana. I've never been on a cruise ship before but I've always wanted to and so this is going to be a fantastic experience for me."
