A behind-the-scenes documentary starts this week showcasing the Seven Seas Explorer, which bills itself as the The Most Luxurious Ship Ever Built.
The four-part documentary will air on Channel 5 on Friday at 9pm.
Film crews were give ‘unprecedented’ access over two cruises around the Iberian Peninsula, the Bay of Biscay and Baltic Sea.
The first episode follows John Barron, the ship’s cruise director, as he gets ready for his opening performance with a new group of passengers, while head butler, Raju, prepares the Regent Suite for the next guests.
The other three episodes will air at 9pm, 30 August, 6 and 13 September.
The ultra-luxury ship will return to Europe and the Caribbean in 2020. In 2021 it will spend spring and autumn in Asia and its first summer season in Alaska.
Carrying 750 guests, the all-suite, all-balcony ship boasts one of the highest space ratios and highest crew to guest ratios in the cruise industry and also the industry’s largest private veranda.
To celebrate the documentary, Regent Seven Seas Cruises is launching an exclusive competition for UK travel agents.
Agents can win a £250 Amazon e-voucher by tuning in and then going to www.rssc.com/tv to answer a simple question about each week’s episode.
Each week, one winner will be drawn from all correct entries.
