Exclusive for Mail on Sunday readers: Meet Anton Du Beke and Erin Boag on a Danube cruise
Competition for the coveted Strictly Come Dancing glitterball trophy is hotting up, with just a few weeks left to the sequined final. Guaranteed to be there is Anton Du Beke, who this year has slipped into his judge’s seat next to Craig, Motsi and Shirley as if it were made for him.
But if you’re itching to see Anton on the dancefloor again, here’s an exclusive chance to join him and his long-term dance partner and fellow Strictly favourite Erin Boag on a fabulous eight-day Danube river cruise.
After flying to Budapest, you’ll travel on a stylish Emerald Cruises Star-Ship, with stops at Linz in Austria and at the Unesco World Heritage-listed town of Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic.

OUR SPECIAL GUESTS
You will be joined by Anton and Erin
Having danced together for two decades, Anton Du Beke and Erin Boag are two of Britain’s all-time favourite ballroom stars. Their charisma, chemistry and sparkling choreography have wowed audiences all over the world. Anton, affectionately known as the King of Ballroom, holds the record as Strictly’s longest-serving professional dancer.
This memorable trip will take you to three of Europe’s great capitals, Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest, and you will sail past terraced vineyards and apricot orchards en route to Melk and Durnstein in Austria.
In the Austrian capital, you’ll watch Anton and Erin perform at an intimate and historic venue, and the pair will also take part in a special interactive dance masterclass aboard ship.
Anton and Erin will also host an entertaining question-and-answer session, during which you can ask them about their lives and careers and find out what really goes on behind the scenes on Strictly. One Mail reader said of a previous trip: ‘It’s been such a wonderful experience seeing Anton and Erin perform. I cannot imagine anything better.’
