Norwegian Cruise Line will feature in two episodes of Cruising with Susan Calman, due to air on May 30 and June 6 on Channel 5.
Each episode will feature highlights from a 16-day Australia and New Zealand voyage on 1,900-passenger ship Norwegian Sun, with calls in Melbourne, Portland, Kangaroo Island and Tasmania in Australia, as well as Dunedin, Wellington and Tauranga in New Zealand.
Calman takes part in shore excursions such as wine tasting at the d’Arenberg winery in South Australia’s McLaren Vale, a visit to the Geothermal Valley of Te Puia in Rotorua, New Zealand and a tour of Taieri Gorge by train.
Norwegian Cruise Line vice-president and head of UK & Ireland Gary Anslow said: “We’re delighted to partner with Cruising with Susan Calman to showcase this breath-taking Australia & New Zealand itinerary to [Channel] 5 viewers across the UK.
“This region is one of the crown jewels of NCL’s Exotics deployment, which is a testament to our commitment to delivering “MORE” of what our guests value most—stunning destinations, award-winning ships, and an exceptional onboard experience that’s both enriching and unforgettable.
“We hope these episodes will inspire more Brits to finally plan their own ‘cruise of a lifetime’ with NCL and discover the magic of exploring the world with us.”
