“Cruising has been a huge part of my life for years, so sharing my mum’s first-ever cruise with her on a Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines sailing was something I was really excited about.
“With Setting Sail at 60, we wanted to capture that real sense of excitement and discovery as a first-time cruiser. Filming the series gave us some unforgettable moments together, and I’m excited for viewers to experience that journey with us.”
