With incredible access, this blue-chip series grants viewers an exclusive and aspirational glimpse into life on board luxurious cruise ships, showcasing breathtaking destinations alongside the complex operations required to maintain and operate these incredible vessels.

Set across the world’s most beautiful destinations, from the turquoise waters of the Caribbean to the enchanting coasts of North Africa, Europe and the Canary Islands – this series promises a sun soaked, escapist viewing experience like no other.

Through an intimate lens, this behind-the-scenes series reveals the hard work and dedication that goes into providing nearly 3,000 passengers with the holiday of a lifetime.

We follow the captain and his team as they navigate a critical crossing of the Panama Canal and move below deck to witness the highly trained culinary team undergoing a complex military-style operation to throw a beach barbecue for thousands. We also meet a dancer who’s not only having to acclimatise to performing on a rocky stage but also to missing family back home as well as a security officer who’s clocked up four decades at sea.

Meanwhile, in blissful ignorance of the hard work and pressure going on behind the scenes, we see excited passengers as they disembark to journey on unforgettable excursions including mud-bathing in a bubbling Colombian volcano, whale watching on a little fishing boat in Tenerife and bamboo rafting, complete with foot massage, in Jamaica.
