Strictly stars to appear on Iona during maiden year
Well-known faces from the hit BBC show Strictly Come Dancing will make an appearance onboard P&O Cruises’ Iona in summer 2020.
A Strictly ‘special guest’ and one of the show’s pro dance couples will take part in a dinner and dance, accompanied by a live band, in The Limelight Club during selected cruises onboard the ship during its maiden year. There will also be a question and answer session and a chance for photo opportunities.
P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said: "Our stunning new Iona, and the glitz and glamour of Strictly Come Dancing – it’s a combination that’s sure to create memorable moments for our guests.
"We can’t wait for our special Strictly guests to join us on board and share their experiences of the entertainment show that has captured the hearts of the nation. It is another great reason to holiday with P&O Cruises, getting guests closer to amazing experiences and iconic destinations in the Norwegian Fjords next summer."
Strictly Come Dancing Live Entertainment executive producer, Richard Curwen said: "We are delighted to be able to bring some of the Strictly magic to Iona during its maiden year. The opportunity to offer guests a new experience in the intimate surroundings of The Limelight Club is very exciting. Added to the Strictly Come Dancing themed cruises aboard Britannia, Ventura and Azura in 2020, it’s a full schedule of Strictly Come Dancing shows, classes, meet and greets and more on P&O Cruises."
The new Strictly Come Dancing Supper Club experience will be on selected Norwegian fjords cruises from June to August 2020.
