The Cruise ITV documentary to return early next year
A new six-part series of the popular ITV documentary ‘The Cruise’ is to be filmed later this year on Princess Cruises’ 3,560-passenger Majestic Princess as she crosses Australia, New Zealand and Asia.
The sixth series will air in early 2019 and will once again offer an insight into life onboard for both guests and the ship’s crew.
A variety of destinations will be visited including Sydney, Melbourne, Wellington, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore and filming will take place from August to November.
The three most recent series, which all aired earlier this year, attracted an average audience of around 3.5 million per episode.
Tony Roberts, Princess Cruises’ vice president UK and Europe, said: "’The Cruise’ continues to go from strength-to-strength, with viewing figures higher than ever, so we are delighted to have ITV back on board. The programme has unquestionably opened up the appeal of a cruise holiday to a whole new audience and we look forward to seeing Princess Cruises set sail on the small screen again from early 2019.
"Majestic Princess is the perfect setting for the next series as it’s our newest ship and includes a wealth of features and amenities such as fine dining, a luxury spa, an indoor garden and a 900-seat theatre. Meanwhile Australia, New Zealand and Asia are on many bucket lists so we can’t wait to help transport viewers to these stunning parts of the world."
