From: online...@nuline.comcastbiz.net

Dear Friends,

If you are looking for the one cruise to join this year, look no further!  This is the perfect trip – a great ship, Line dancers from all over the world, 6 World Renowned Choreographers, and the most Fun you can have Line dancing at sea. 

We are beyond excited to announce the 2026 All Star Line Dance Cruise Sensation—setting sail December 13, 2026, aboard the magnificent Symphony of the Seas, departing from Galveston, Texas! They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and we’re making sure this cruise lives up to that reputation.

Our 2025 Navigator of the Seas cruise was an unforgettable success—guests raved about the energy, fun, and world-class instruction. And guess what? This year will be even bigger and better!

Your Hosts: Ira Weisburd, Diane, and I are ready to welcome you aboard with open arms.

We’re bringing together six phenomenal international instructors, including:

   •   The “Infamous” Raymond Sarlemijn – joining us for the 5th time from Norway!

   •   The “King” Roy Verdonk – back for his 3rd year from the Netherlands!

   •   The dynamic Darren Bailey  (originally from Wales)– completing the legendary “Triple X” lineup!

(Fun fact: Roy & Raymond won the 2024 Crystal Boot Award for “Stand By Me.”)

   •   The award-winning Jef Camps from Belgium

   •   The talented Lee Hamilton from Scotland

   •   And of course, Ira Weisburd (USA) – recipient of the 2021 Crystal Boot “Love of Dance” Award!

 What’s New in 2026?

   •   Pre-Cruise Hotel & Dance Party Package (Dec 12–13) INCLUDED in your cruise pricing!

   •   A brand-new online sign-up system—simple, secure, and mobile-friendly! Just verify your email (may take up to 5 minutes), complete the form, and you’ll receive your Welcome Letter within 3 business days.

Traveling solo? No worries—we’ll do our best to help you find a roommate.
