The documentary will give an insight into life on board for the 1,600 crew members and how they work together to provide guests customer service. From preparing a glittering welcome on board party to cooking a barbeque for all guests on Princess Cruises’ private Bahamas island, the programme offers a bird’s eye view of the ship as it sails through the Caribbean.

The show was produced by UK production company Pulse Films.

Overseeing guest hospitality is Dirk Brand, hotel general manager, a German native with over 15 years’ cruise experience.

Paul Ludlow, Princess Cruises' managing director UK and Europe, said: 'We are thrilled the crew on Royal Princess will star in this major series. We’re positive the show will strike a chord with everyone who enjoys travelling with us and also open up the appeal of cruising to a whole new generation of holidaymakers.

'Even our most travelled guests will be amazed at just how much hard work goes into making sure our ships run smoothly.'
