Princess Cruises’ ITV show gets air date

Princess Cruises’ ITV documentary, The Cruise Ship, is to be aired from 11 July at 8pm as part of the channel’s primetime Friday night schedule.

The four-port series will follow the working crew of The Royal Princess, which was launched last year by The Duchess of Cambridge in Southampton.

Paul Ludlow, Princess Cruises’ managing director UK & Europe, said: “We are thrilled that ITV chose Royal Princess as the focus for this upcoming series. 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.”

The show will be narrated by Cold Feet and Fast Show funnyman John Thompson during the ship’s season in the Caribbean, including a call at the line’s private Bahamas Island.
