We have the perfect recommended TV viewing for you if you’re looking to beat those January blues, with Princess Cruises set to feature on both ITV and Channel 5 over the coming weeks.
The Cruise
The sixth series of ‘The Cruise’ will air on ITV at 8.30pm on Thursday evenings. The six-part documentary was filmed on the 3,560-guest Majestic Princess cruise ship as she sailed to Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
There’ll be several new faces including Captain Dino Sagani, a fourth-generation captain who has worked for Princess Cruises for 25 years, and ship’s company you might recognise including Newcastle-born Hotel Services Engineer, Scott Grayson. As well as being filmed helping maintain the 143,000-tonne ship, Scott is seen offering a glimpse into his preparations for heading home to begin a whole new adventure of his own – as a father to a new born baby girl.
Cruising with Jane McDonald
Cruising with Jane McDonald is also back featuring Princess Cruises ‘Down Under’. Princess will feature exclusively in all three episodes of the next series of Channel 5’s BAFTA-winning show, airing on Friday nights at 9.00pm.
Jane will travel around Australia, combining a 12-night cruise on board the 2,000-guest Sun Princess – as the ship sails the West Coast of Australia – with several land tours. The former cruise ship singer dines at the Chef’s Table and attends a wedding between two Guests on the line’s original ‘Love Boat’, learns to surf on Manly Beach and goes swimming with crocodiles.
