Jane McDonald has confirmed that there will be a seventh series of her popular Channel 5 cruise programme, Cruising with Jane McDonald.

While the date of the show has not yet been announced, Channel 5 has informed us that it is likely to be in the New Year.

The proclaimed Queen of Cruise has been filming for the award-winning show all year in between touring and is reportedly due to finish the series in the next few weeks.

“We’re just filming the last bit of it. We’ve been filming it all year in between the shows,” McDonald told Cruise Critic in a recent interview. “I know it’s coming out over the winter, but I can’t really say much more.”

Cruising with Jane McDonald was first aired in 2017. The show has seen McDonald cruise across the likes of the Caribbean, Danube, Alaska, the Baltics and the Far East, exploring a host of different cruise lines and ship.

According to the Cruise Critic interview, the TV star will finish filming the seventh series on board McDonald’s favourite line, Silversea, in the Adriatic.

Next year for the first time, McDonald will be chartering her own cruise and is inviting all cruise fans to sail with her.

Taking place in September 2020, the itinerary, Sail Away with Jane McDonald, will see the star charter Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas on a Southampton round-trip visiting Cherbourg, Vigo and Lisbon.

Cabins are still available to book on the seven-night voyage. Along with visiting Mediterranean ports, clients can also take advantage of Anthem of the Seas’ state-of-the-art facilities, including the Bionic Bar, where guests can order cocktails mixed by robots, and the FlowRider surf simulator.
