2013-2014 DANCE CRUISES: Join Vivian and dancers from around the country on one of our luxury cruises on the most famous ocean liners in the world and the number one river cruise line. We have chosen the Cunard Cruise Line for our ocean cruises because in our experience, it offers the best amenities for ballroom dancers: real ballrooms with the largest dance floor at sea, high-level dance teachers, dancehosts and real ballroom, swing, and Latin bands and DJs on every cruise. We chose Viking River Cruises because of the Viking way of first class luxury river cruising. Our travel club rarely goes to the same place twice. Rather than visit the Caribbean over and over again, our goal is to see the world by dancing from location to location in luxury.
