The new series will air during prime time on ITV in 2018. Filming will take place on the 3,560-guest Royal Princess in the Mediterranean as well as the 2,600-guest Star Princess as it sails across Alaska. Filming will then return to Royal Princess in November as the ship enters its Caribbean season.
The new series will include six 30-minute episodes in the Mediterranean plus specials each featuring Alaska and the Caribbean.
Tony Roberts, Princess Cruises’ vice president UK and Europe, said: "After the success and popularity of the first and second series of The Cruise we are thrilled to have ITV back on board.”
Paul Hamann, executive producer at Wild Pictures, which is making the programmes, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Princess Cruises again on this successful returning series. Viewers are really fascinated by the world of cruising, the workings of such a large operation and the exciting destinations this series gives them a passport to see.”
