This documentary series climbs aboard The Regal Princess, the largest ship owned by Princess Cruises. Set over 19 decks are several bars and restaurants, a fitness centre, a luxury spa, cabanas and hot tubs. The episodes follow the 1,400-member crew as they navigate the waters and keep up with the five-star service for the holiday-makers. Filming takes place as the passengers travel from Copenhagen to St Petersburg, Russia. With the ship spanning more than 1,080 feet long, getting in and out of ancient harbours proves to be quite a challenge for Captain Ed Perrin and his team.
