Both seven-day Caribbean cruises are onboard ms Nieuw Amsterdam.
While onboard, the dancers will perform for guests, dazzling the audience with dance numbers from the television series. Additional events on the theme cruises include dance lessons with the shipboard professional dancers, a special fashion show featuring the glamorous show costumes, and a chance to meet the dance pros and celebrities, ask questions and take photos with them.

I thoroughly enjoyed this program on our April 19 Panama cruise on the Zuiderdam. The daytime classes and the evening performances were outstanding. I hope to have the pleasure of seeing this continue on future cruises.
Bravo Holland America for partnering with ‘Dancing with the Stars. Cruising,
dancing and Chocolate Volcano Cake are three of my favorite things. My husband and I were finalist on our May 2013 Canada, New England cruise on the Maasdam.
I had the honor of winning cruise champion thanks to my very talented singer/ dancer partner. The singers and dancers on our cruise were the most talented we have ever experienced.
We look forward to future cruises, dancing and chocolate volcano cake!
