Abu Dhabi, Jordan, Oman, Tanzania, Cambodia and Mumbai are among the destinations that highlight the third season of original travel programming from Carnival Corp. & plc.

New episodes of the company's Ocean Original television programs 'Ocean Treks with Jeff Corwin,' 'Vacation Creation with Tommy Davidson and Andrea Feczko' and 'The Voyager with Josh Garcia' begin Oct. 6 and will again air on Saturdays through fall 2019 on ABC and NBC.

Millions of family viewers

'We’re thrilled at the continued growth all three series have enjoyed and we’re eager to share new episodes of these popular TV shows to the millions of families and travel buffs in search of new destinations to add to their vacation wish lists,' said John Padgett, chief experience and innovation officer for Carnival Corp. 'Fans will continue to see that the opportunities to experience the world on a cruise vacation are endless.'

Back for a third season on ABC stations is 'Ocean Treks with Jeff Corwin.' It broadcasts nationally as part of the daytime Emmy-winning 'Weekend Adventure,' a three-hour programming block airing Saturday mornings on 98% of the country’s ABC affiliate stations. In season three, Corwin takes audiences to Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Madagascar, the Seychelles, the Canary Islands and Mumbai.

'Vacation Creation with Tommy Davidson and Andrea Feczko' also returns to ABC’s 'Weekend Adventure.' The show creates vacations of a lifetime for couples, individuals and families facing hardship, in need of hope or seeking time together. New episodes include visits to the Shetland Islands, Reykjavik and Cuba.

'The Voyager with Josh Garcia' returns to NBC as part of the network’s nationally broadcast 'The More You Know' programming block. Viewers will travel with Garcia to Abu Dhabi; Aqaba, Jordan; Muscat, Oman; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and Manilla, Phillipines. In one episode, Garcia joins a group of fellow passengers for voluntourism adventure in Mexico.

Plus, Spanish-language programming

Season two of 'La Gran Sorpresa,' a series from Carnival Corp. that airs on Univision, begins in late 2018 with a holiday special and extends into cruising's peak sales period, wave season. The one-hour program is hosted by television personality Poncho de Anda and showcases how the power of travel reunites families.
