Departing Southampton on May 7th, 2026, MSC Virtuosa will take guests on an unforgettable voyage to Norway which promises a mix of stunning scenery and glamorous dance session, with the added bonus of rubbing shoulders with one of the world’s most celebrated ballroom stars.
Guests will join Shirley for a dance masterclass and a special Q&A where she will share behind-the-scenes stories from her Strictly career. For those feeling brave enough to try and earn that 10 paddle, a talent show will take place with Shirley as head judge.
Antonio Paradiso, VP of international sales, said, “It’s fantastic to have Shirley Ballas on MSC Virtuosa, she brings such great energy, style and sparkle, which is exactly what we love to see at sea.â€
Shirley Ballas added, “I am absolutely thrilled to be joining MSC Cruises on May 9th for some world-class cruising, stunning scenery and a bit of added sparkle on board. Remember … it’s never too early to book a cruise with Shirley!â€
