P&O Ferries hits double tops with Deller and Bristow

Darts gods Keith Deller and Eric Bristow will step up to the oche with P&O Ferries to re-kindle rivalry that saw the former World champions dominate darts for more than a decade.

It was in 1980 that ‘The Crafty Cockney’ Bristow won his first of four World titles, with a brash confidence that delighted fans and rattled opponents out of their doubles.

But in 1983 baby-faced Deller caused a sensation, beating Bristow by six sets to five to become the youngest World Champion in the history of the game.  Nicknamed ‘The Milky Bar Kid’ because he turned to the dairy drink after taking the title, Deller holds the record for the fastest game ever, hitting 301 in just 97 seconds.

The pair will be the star turn for a special Darts Challenge minicruise on board the cruise ferry Pride of Rotterdam sailing from Hull for Rotterdam on the evening of Wednesday 5 September.  The two night trip includes coach transfers upon arrival for a full day’s sightseeing in Amsterdam.

Prices are from £75 per person, based on two sharing a cabin.
