New Series Lifts The Curtain On Holland America Cruises

A new series is offering an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at life onboard one of the world’s most iconic cruise lines.

The eight-part Channel 4 series, Supercruising: Life at Sea, follows guests and crew onboard the renowned Holland America Line ships Rotterdam and Nieuw Statendam. Each episode will follow the ships as they traverse dazzling destinations, including the Panama Canal, in the Caribbean, South America, North America and the Canary Islands.

Viewers will also get the chance to take a look at what exactly goes on below deck, plus see some popular shore excursions, including rum tasting in the Dominican Republic, toboggan rides in Madeira and horse riding in the Bahamas.

"It was a privilege to host the film crew across three voyages, as we sailed to several of our most eye-catching destinations. We can't wait for viewers to see everything our holidays at sea offer, both on and off our stunning ships. It was particularly timely for the cameras to capture our first season departing from the UK in a decade, as cruising further opens up to British passengers from their doorstep," said Karen Farndell, Holland America Line's UK director of sales and marketing.

Supercruising: Life at Sea airs on Channel 4 every Thursday at 8pm.
