New series of ‘The Cruise’ starts on January 3
ITV has confirmed that the sixth series of the popular documentary ‘The Cruise’ will return to TV screens on January 3.
The new six-part series was filmed on the Majestic Princess as she sailed to Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
Throughout the latest series, viewers will be introduced to a number of new faces including Captain Dino Sagani, a fourth-generation captain who has worked for Princess Cruises for 25 years.
He has served as captain on several Princess ships since being appointed in 2007.
ITV said some familiar faces will also take centre stage including Newcastle-born hotel services engineer Scott Grayson. As well as being filmed helping maintain the 143,000-tonne ship, Grayson is seen offering a glimpse into his preparations for heading home to become father to a new born baby girl.
Actor Anthony Head, who played Rupert Giles in Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Geoffrey Howe in Oscar- winning The Iron Lady, will provide the voice-over.
Princess Cruises’ vice president UK and Europe Tony Roberts said: "We’re delighted that Princess Cruises will once again feature in The Cruise series on ITV, which offers viewers a wonderful glimpse into the wealth of experiences for our guests both onboard and ashore, and the daily lives of our dedicated crew.
"We can’t wait for the series to transport viewers to exotic Asia and the stunning landmark locations of Australia and New Zealand on Majestic Princess."
The Cruise will air from 8.30pm every Thursday for six weeks.
