The Cruise: Sailing the Caribbean, will follow crew and guests as they travel on the 3,600-passenger Royal Princess when it airs on ITV at 8.30pm on Thursday April 5.

Downton Abbey actor Hugh Bonneville will once again narrate the documentary series, which has drawn up to four million viewers per episode.

Several new crewmembers will appear, as well as familiar faces Captain Bob Oliver and Timothy Gallant from the shore excursions desk. The mini-series is the latest leg of an extended voyage for the programme, which kicked off in the Mediterranean in January and visited Alaska last month.

Tony Roberts, Princess Cruises’ vice president UK and Europe, said: “We have shown viewers the scenic surroundings of the Mediterranean and stunning landscapes of Alaska, so are now looking forward to seeing the sunny shores of the Caribbean.

“This series will give everyone the opportunity to see some of the amazing Caribbean destinations we visit.” Viewers will see the ship call at destinations including Antigua, Grenada and the brand’s own private resort, Princess Cays in the Bahamas.
