Forever Cruises’ Anchored sailing on Royal Caribbean’s Vision of the Seas will form the backdrop for the five-part Shipmates series.
The show follows two groups of friends competing in challenges during a round-trip Barcelona cruise, from June 7-12, with one group voted series winners by their fellow passengers at the end of the voyage.
It will be the second time Forever Cruises, part of London-based Lee’s Travel Group, has run an Anchored sailing after launching the party cruise concept with entrepreneur Jacqueline Voss Wood last year.
The sailings are aimed at 20-35s and feature entertainment such as deck parties and performances from rappers, DJs and celebrity guests.
David Tan, Lee’s Travel business development manager, said among the recognisable faces on this summer’s Anchored voyage – calling at Cannes, Ibiza and Palma – would be TV personality Calum Best and cage fighter Alex Reid.
“Having the show filmed during the cruise and having the Anchored brand out there on such a major TV network will be a massive boost,” Tan told TTG.
An airing date has not yet been announced for the show.
