Karina Smirnoff Headlines 'Cruising With The Stars'

It’s like I always say, if you’re going to learn how to dance, you might as well do it on a cruise. Okay, I’ve never said that once in my life. But still, it sounds fun!

Cruising With the Stars is a new dance-focused cruise that will launch June 3-10, 2012 out of Los Angeles. Cruisers will board Carnival Cruise Line’s ship, The Splendor, and take off for a 7 day excursion to the Mexican Riviera.

Oh, and the best part? Karina Smirnoff will be there.

“Cruising With The Stars will set a new standard in dance cruise excursions. Add the rare opportunity to join one of America’s hottest dance celebrities – DWTS’s Karina Smirnoff -- for a full week of unmatched dance instruction and exhilarating performances, and it’s a formula for success,” says Event Organizer and Hosts Sharon Savoy and Mike Tuttle.

The website boasts:

“Aside from all the fine dining and room service 24 hours a day, you’ll have plenty of time to escape to the pools, fitness center, spas, game rooms, children’s activity zones, shopping, even casinos.”

There’s also a limited opportunity to actually take private lessons from Karina. She will join six of America’s champion professional dance instructors and performers -- including Savoy and Tuttle, as well as Jamie Bayard and Bonnie Marie, and Enio Cordoba and Terryl Jones.

There will be nightly cocktail and dance parties, personal Q&A sessions, celebrity photo sessions, excursions once the ship reaches shore, and one spectacular dance show.

Cruising With The Stars is open to the general public, and there are dancer and non-dancer rates available. To make reservations, visit www.cruisingwiththestars.net.
