In 2013, they won the title "Europe's Best Dance Show" and founded their own company.

Since 2016, the boys have also been touring through Germany and Austria every year alongside Florian Silbereisen and other stars. In 2018, DDC even performed in front of former President Barack Obama at a charity event in Kenya.

closeThe golf courses in this region offer just as much interest and flavour as Asian cuisine - each serving up satisfaction and a special spicy edge. Golfing in Asia means golfing like the great pros. A personal caddie is obligatory on the Asian courses. In other words, this cruise caters for the 5-star experience.
Sat 29.04.2023 Ko Samui, Thailand - Santiburi Samui Country Club
This is probably one of the most beautiful Thai golf courses with a striking design and breathtaking views of the surrounding Gulf of Thailand. It is not only the exposed position in the island's hills but also the flora around the playing areas that make this golfing gem so special. This course is a must for golfers who take pleasure in the aesthetics of a golf course.
Thu 04.05.2023 Port Kelang (Kuala Lumpur), Malaysia - Palm Garden Golf Club
The parkland course styled like a palm garden lies in the middle of the huge metropolis of Kuala Lumpur. Unusually for a city course, it features wide fairways and generously proportioned, fast greens and large distances to the next tee. This means a golf cart is a must, which also speeds up play. The water features have a significant impact on play for 50 % of the holes.
Sat 06.05.2023 Porto Malai (Langkawi), Malaysia - The Els Club Teluk Datai
The 27-hole golf world designed by Ernie Els with great finesse rewards golfers with its natural setting on the shore and plenty of views of the Andaman Sea. The South African star has managed to create a unique experience of golfing and nature. The highlights are undoubtedly the three holes that finish right on the coast of Langkawi.
Tue 09.05.2023 Hambantota, Sri Lanka - Shangri-La's Golf & Country Club
This 18-hole golfing paradise is located on a former coconut plantation, so it's no wonder that the fairways are surrounded by numerous gigantic coconut palms. Meanwhile, the Indian Ocean offers a continual supply of sensational views. Speaking of water, an impressive two thirds of the holes here are directly or indirectly influenced by water features.
