Princess Cruises' brand ambassador, TV personality Phillip Schofield, is telling his story of cruising for the first time via www.princess.com

A three minute video charts his cruise onboard the 3,560-guest Royal Princess as it sailed across the Mediterranean earlier this year.

Each week a new 30-second video will be featured, giving further insight into different aspects of Schofield's cruise. The self-confessed wine enthusiast's first posting will be wine blending in 'Vines', one of Royal Princess' onboard bars. Future posts include Schofield touring the ship, visiting the galley, enjoying a balcony breakfast and meeting the Captain.

Phillip Schofield said: “We had the most fantastic time on Royal Princess and I can't wait for everyone to see everything we got up to. For anyone considering a cruise holiday I can't recommend it enough. In the first instalment I get to blend my very own wine which was definitely one of my cruise highlights!”

Tony Roberts, Princess Cruises' vice president UK and Europe, said: “I am sure everyone is going to love watching Phillip experiencing his first Princess cruise. He brings his unique personality to the videos which will really engage viewers and give great insight into travelling with Princess Cruises.”

The first video is live now and can be viewed at www.princess.com/phillip-schofield.
