I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! The High Seas Edition

Posted on 3rd Dec, 2025


  • The Setting: Forget the rain-soaked jungle; our celebrities are sailing the stunning Australian coast.

  • The Trials: Bushtucker challenges are reimagined as "Extreme Shore Excursions" designed to test their mettle.

  • The Prize: Victory means unlocking the true potential of a luxury cruise - from spa days to balcony upgrades - culminating in the ultimate 6-star holiday.


With the highly anticipated final of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here coming up this Sunday, the nation is once again glued to their screens.

But, it got us thinking: What if Ant and Dec swapped the damp Aussie bush for a gleaming cruise ship sailing around Australia?

What if the "jungle camp" was actually a ship, and the celebrities had to battle for stars to unlock the luxuries that regular cruisers enjoy every day?

Welcome to I’m a Celebrity… Get Me On Board!

Setting Sail: Green With Envy

Forget sleeping in hammocks with leaky tarpaulins. In this version, the "camp" is actually a corridor of Standard Inside Cabins. Now, let’s be clear - an inside cabin is a cosy, comfortable, and a perfect base for a holiday.

But when you know there are sweeping Oceanview Staterooms and balconies just a deck above, being confined to the interior is the ultimate test of envy! There are no spiders in the beds here, but there’s also no sea view... yet.

Meanwhile, Ant and Dec have traded their cork hats for pristine, gold-braided Captain’s outfits. They aren’t suffering; they are hosting the show from the Owner’s Suite.

They’re living the high life on the Lido Deck, sipping mocktails by the infinity pool, and enjoying the aroma of the gourmet grill, taunting the celebs with the scent of premium wagyu burgers.

The Trials: A True Test of Australia

Usually, an Australian cruise excursion involves wine tasting in the Yarra Valley or snorkelling in turquoise waters. But for the show, the producers have curated the toughest "Shore Trials" the continent has to offer.

The Sydney Skywalk Snatch: A vertigo-inducing challenge. Instead of a leisurely bridge climb, celebrities must traverse a narrow, transparent plank suspended high above a famous Sydney landmark, reaching out over the harbour to collect their stars while battling the wind.

The Outback Bug Bunker (Darwin): While the ship is docked in the Northern Territory, the celebs are transported to a hot, dark, confined underground bunker. They must search for stars while sharing the space with thousands of harmless, but incredibly unnerving, Australian creepy crawlies.

The Great Barrier Reef Rummage (Cairns): No colourful coral viewing here. Celebrities are submerged into a giant, ice-cold industrial training tank at a dockside facility. They have to dive and rummage through slime, fish heads, and icy water to retrieve their stars, all while the warm, tropical ocean sits just yards away, tantalisingly out of reach.

The Bush Tucker Buffet: The dreaded eating trial! The celebs are served the "catch of the day" - and we don't mean lobster. We're talking fermented shark, kangaroo bits, and even tarantulas.

Stars Equal Upgrades: The Real Cruise Experience

This is where the game changes. In the jungle, stars equal a bag of beans. On the ship, Stars equal Upgrades.

The ship is a beacon of relaxation, and the celebrities are fighting to access it. Returning from a trial, a celebrity isn't just looking for a meal; they are looking for the lifestyle upgrades that make cruising so special:

  • 2 Stars: Access to the Premium Beverage Package for the evening (ice cold lagers and cocktails!).

  • 5 Stars: A private table at the ship's Specialty Steakhouse or Italian Trattoria - no more buffet for the night!

  • 8 Stars: A keycard upgrade! The celebrity moves from their Inside Cabin to a Balcony Stateroom for the night, waking up to fresh sea air and ocean views.

  • 10 Stars: The "Golden Ticket" - access to the Spa for a massage to wash away the stress of the trial.

The Grand Prize: The 6-Star Experience

As the final approaches this Sunday, we aren't just looking for a King or Queen of the Ship. We are looking for the celebrity who deserves to see what cruising is really about.

The winner doesn't just get a crown. They win a 6-Star, All-Inclusive Ultra-Luxury Cruise around Australia.

No trials. No bugs. No inside cabins. Just a Luxury Suite, personal butler service, champagne on arrival, and immersive cultural shore excursions. They will finally experience the glamour, relaxation, and adventure that makes cruising the best way to see the world.
