Channel 4 sets sail with a new series, Supercruising: Life At Sea, premiering Thursday, July 3, at 8 PM. This new program takes an exclusive look behind the scenes of luxurious cruise ships as they make their way to destinations across the globe.
The opening episode focuses on a Holland America fleet ship, making its first full-season UK departure in a decade. British security officer Rich Fontaine oversees nearly 3000 passengers as they begin a voyage through North Africa and Europe. Meanwhile, the crew of the fleet’s sister ship prepares for its own journey around the Americas, with a first stop at a private island in the Bahamas. There, a beach barbecue for thousands requires careful planning.
Passengers Pam and Barry from Lincoln find a bit of a challenge during basket sleigh riding in Madeira, while Kentucky couple Shawna and Thomas celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary with their teenage son Michael. Their excursions include horse riding in the ocean in the Bahamas.
