Silversea has hosted TV personality Jane McDonald aboard the Silver Muse for a South American cruise to film for the BAFTA winning show, Cruising With Jane McDonald.

The programme is scheduled for broadcast on Channel 5 at 9pm on Friday 22 June and Friday 29 June.

Currently in its fourth series, Cruising With Jane McDonald averages 2 million viewers and the partnership with Silversea will see the programme host the first ultra-luxury ship, in an also first-to-sail part of the world, South America.

In the first episode, Jane embarks on a street art tour of Chile’s port city of Valparaiso. Highlights include a visit to the glacier on Laguna San Rafael, before the trip ventures even further south into the depths of Patagonia.

The second episode sees Jane continue her cruise with a visit to Puerto Madryn, home to the largest Welsh settlement outside of Wales, followed by a further two days at sea. Jane’s arrival in Buenos Aires, one of Latin America’s most vibrant cities, sees her walk in the footsteps of Argentina’s First Lady, Eva Peron, which inspired the world famous musical, Evita.

The next leg of the trip heads east to Punta Del Este in Uruguay – known as the Monte Carlo of South America, with the cruise finishing in Montevideo for a wine tasting tour in one of Uruguay’s oldest wineries.

Silversea UK managing director Peter Shanks said: “Cruising with Jane McDonald is really watchable television. She has a natural and down to earth way of bringing a travel experience to life – and rightly the first travel programme to be awarded a BAFTA. I have seen our two Silversea South America episodes and there are scenes that made me want to book a holiday right there and then.”
