ITV's The Cruise with Princess Cruises
The ever-popular ITV series, The Cruise, is due to return to screens in January, and this time we will follow the stunning Majestic Princess through destinations in the East – namely Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. As well as some familiar faces, fans of the programme will get to know a few new characters, in addition to another fabulous Princess Cruises ship.
What is ITV’s The Cruise About?
This popular programme can boast five series before this one, with each offering a glimpse into life onboard a Princess Cruises ship. The idea is to offer viewers the chance to find out more about what a holiday with this fantastic cruise line is like; to take a closer look at the features and services available on the ships, as well as of course which destinations they visit.
What will happen in series six?
In this latest series, let Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Iron Lady actor Anthony Head transport you to Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, as he narrates throughout the journeys of Majestic Princess.
Find out more about how hotel services engineer Scott Grayson manages to keep things under control and take care of all kinds of matters onboard, all the while sharing his excitement to get back home to his new baby girl.
Plus meet Princess Cruises’ veteran Captain Dino Sagani, who has been with the cruise line for an impressive 25 years. Having been appointed captain of Majestic Princess in 2007, he is particularly fond of this vessel due to it's being built just a few miles away from his hometown of Trieste in Italy.
Which destinations will be seen in series six?
If you’ve ever considered cruising in Asia or Australasia, let this series of The Cruise show you more about what you can expect.

Cruising onboard Majestic Princess
