A four-part documentary set onboard a Princess Cruises ship will be broadcast weekly on UK television channel ITV from 11 July 2014.
Entitled ‘The Cruise Ship’, the show will air on consecutive Friday evenings at 8pm. The documentary will show unprecedented behind-the-scenes footage of the 1,600 crew and passengers on Princess Cruises’ 3,600-passenger ship, which was launched last year by HRH The Duchess of Cambridge.
“We are thrilled that ITV chose Royal Princess as the focus for this upcoming series,” said Paul Ludlow, Princess Cruises' managing director UK and Europe. “Viewers will get unparalleled insight into this magnificent ship and her crew. Cruise holidays are an increasingly popular choice in the UK and we are confident that this series will widen the appeal even further.”
Filming took place as Royal Princess sailed across the Caribbean, including while she called at the line’s private Bahamas island. Actor John Thompson, star of Cold Feet and The Fast Show, provides the voiceover.
