Comedian and travel enthusiast Susan Calman sets sail for new horizons this Friday on 5. Airing at 8 PM, Cruising with Susan Calman: New Zealand: Part 1 kicks off a two-part special that sees her explore the stunning landscapes and quirky charms of New Zealand’s North and South Islands.
The first leg of the journey focuses on the South Island, with Calman taking in the majestic beauty of Milford Sound. She also hops aboard the historic Taieri Gorge Railway for a scenic—and slightly hair-raising—ride on an open-air platform. Back on the ship, Calman gathers some friends for a unique cocktail-tasting experience featuring inventive concoctions made from the ship’s surplus food.
From breathtaking scenery to sheepdogs at work on a local farm, the episode is infused with Calman’s trademark mix of curiosity and genial humour. As a bonus, she ventures up to the bridge to meet the Captain and gain insight into shipboard navigation.
This is cruising with a distinctly Calmanesque twist—equal parts adventure, exploration, and lighthearted fun.
Cruising with Susan Calman airs Friday at 8:00 PM on 5.
