Sailing through Europe, you’ll enjoy a series of exclusive events with the pair. You will get the inside track on their careers, from favourite guests and behind-the-scenes gossip to Ruth’s experiences on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017.

You’ll join them for a drinks reception and a Live With Eamonn & Ruth event, as well as having the opportunity to ask them questions.
