Channel 5 show spotlights life on board Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Voyages cruise ships

New reality TV show The Cruise will take passengers behind the scenes of Sir Richard Branson's new Virgin Voyages' vessels in a fly-on-the-wall documentary. The series offers a unique insight into the lives of the crew and meets guests - or sailors - on the Scarlet Lady and Valiant Lady ships.

Cameras take viewers inside for an authentic look at the inner workings of operating a 110,000-ton boutique hotel at sea. While stops at the world’s most dazzling coastal locations like Bimini, Ibiza, Marseilles and Cannes provide no shortage of irresistible backdrops. Crew members navigate the world of quirky Sailor requests, last-minute weather challenges and unique milestone celebrations.

Sir Richard Branson told me: "What makes Virgin different to any other company is the brilliant people who work for us – and this is so evident at Virgin Voyages. There’s more than 80 different nationalities working onboard – that’s almost half the world’s countries represented on our ships, all working together and bringing the experience to life with a smile."
