Viewers can get a behind-the-scenes insight into life onboard Holland America Line’s Rotterdam and Nieuw Statendam ships when an eight-part series airs this summer.
The programme will follow three voyages, including sailing the Panama Canal, Caribbean, South America, Canary Islands and North Africa. The cruise line’s first season from Dover in over a decade will also feature in the show.
Each hour-long episode will feature various ports of call and onshore experiences, including rum tasting in the Dominican Republic; horse riding on RelaxAway Half Moon Cay, Holland America Line’s private island in the Bahamas; and a sustainable agriculture tour and wicker basket toboggan rides in Madeira.
Holland America Line UK Director of Sales and Marketing Karen Farndell said: “Hosting the film crew across three voyages was a great opportunity to spotlight everything that makes Holland America Line truly exceptional.
“From our inspiring destinations to the incredible service delivered around the clock by our dedicated crew, we hope this series will capture the magic of our cruises like never before.
“But what excites us most is the unique value this brings to our travel agent partners. It’s a game-changer – an immersive, visual training tool that empowers agents to sell with confidence, deepen their brand expertise, and inspire their clients with real, tangible insights.”
It is not yet known when the TV series will air on Channel 4 – although it’s thought to be this summer.
