Holland America Line Presents

Jan 15, 2013

ABC’s smash hit “Dancing with the Stars” sizzles on board Holland America Line. Tango, Quickstep, Paso Doble, or sit back and enjoy watching the sizzling performances.

Six theme cruises in 2013 and early 2014 will feature “Dancing with the Stars” events including dance lessons; a chance to meet the dancers, ask questions and take photos; and a dazzling production starring celebrities and the famed dance pros, complete with glamorous costumes and routines from the TV show. Two professional dancers and two celebrities will join each theme cruise. Currently scheduled to appear on select sailings are two-time champion pro dancers Mark Ballas and Kym Johnson; pros Tristan MacManus, Lacey Schwimmer and Chelsie Hightower; and celebrity competitors Joey Fatone, Sabrina Bryan and Carson Kressley.* More dance pros and celebrities to be announced. 

In addition to the theme cruises, every sailing on all 15 ships in the Holland America fleet will feature an exclusive “Dancing with the Stars” program including dance lessons and an opportunity for some lucky guests to dance center stage in an exciting dance-off performance.   These activities will feature the ships’ professional dancers and will be developed in collaboration with the show’s dancers and choreographers.

“‘Dancing with the Stars’ is an international phenomenon and this exciting new addition to our entertainment line-up will be very popular with our global guests,” said Richard Meadows, executive vice president, marketing, sales and guest programs for Holland America Line. “The theme cruises offer a unique opportunity to interact with dance pros and stars from the show, learn the moves and even take center stage.”
