Monday, 13 Oct, 2023 0

MSC Virtuosa is taking a starring role in a new Channel 5 drama series.

The ship is the setting for The Good Ship Murder, which will premiere at 9pm on Friday 13 October.

The hour-long mystery drama was filmed on board the MSC Cruises ship, which sails from Southampton for the warmer waters of the Mediterranean.

Each episode takes place in a new destination including Lisbon, Valencia, Barcelona, Le Havre, Valletta and more.

The series will see Shayne Ward play cruise ship singer and ex detective Jack Grayling and Catherine Tyldesley is first officer Kate Woods.

Together they solve a spate of murders around different areas of the luxury liner, from the Carousel Lounge to the MSC Yacht Club.

Claire Sweeney also joins the cast as Entertainment Manager, Beverley Carnell.

Antonio Paradiso, MSC Cruises’ UK & Ireland MD, said: “This new series will bring the magnificence of MSC Virtuosa into living rooms across the country, giving viewers an inside look into life onboard.”

MSC Virtuosa is currently sailing from Southampton this month to destinations such as the Netherlands, Ireland, France and Spain.

Following a winter season in the Middle East, the ship returns to the UK in spring 2024.

MSC Virtuosa launched in November 2019 and is the second of the cruise line’s Meraviglia-plus Class ships, accommodating over 6,000 guests.

The ship has 10 dining venues, 21 bars and five swimming pools.
