Strictly star Artem joins Holland America's Dancing with the Stars

Holland America Line has announced that Strictly Coming Dancing professional Artem Chigvintsev will be joining two of the line’s Dancing with the Stars themed cruises at the end of this year. 

Cruise with Artem – seven night Caribbean cruise from £1,009pp

Departing from Fort Lauderdale on 6 December, the seven night cruise onboard MS Westerdam will call at HAL’s private island, Half Moon Cay, St Thomas, San Juan and Grand Turk before returning to Fort Lauderdale. This cruise starts from £1,009 per person, based on two sharing an inside cabin and including return flights from London, one night’s pre-cruise hotel stay and transfers.

The 29 November cruise starts from £1,029 per person, and swaps the St Thomas port call with a visit to St Maarten. On each cruise, as well as the dancing, guests will enjoy experiences such as steel drum performances and classes, cooking demonstrations of Caribbean dishes, and Caribbean rum tastings as part of Holland America Line’s “On Location” programme.
