The Cruise returns next week
ITV documentary The Cruise will return at 8.30pm on Thursday, January 11.
The six-part documentary, set on board the 3,600-guest Royal Princess, will follow crew and guests as they cruise around the Mediterranean. Commentary will be provided by Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville,
Vice president UK and Europe Tony Roberts said: "This documentary is such a great platform for the cruise industry to showcase what a fantastic experience a holiday at sea is. As well as highlighting stunning destinations and on board events it also gives viewers a sneak peek behind the scenes to show the hard work of the 1,400 strong crew.
"Two more series are due to air later this year with visits to Alaska and the Caribbean. These three series really do show some of the fantastic destinations holiday makers can visit with Princess Cruises."
