Princess Cruises has announced two of its UK cruises this summer will be themed, with one focusing on wellness and the other on cuisine.

Both will be hosted by Radio Times TV and film critic Andrew Collins, and they will each host celebrity speakers.

The three-night Mind, Body and Soul’ cruise, departing on 21 August on Regal Princess, will feature talks by NHS clinician and TV medic Dr Ranj, star of ITV’s The Chase Jenny Ryan and Gogglebox star The Reverend Kate Bottley.

The three-night Culinary Stars cruise, departing on 10 September on Sky Princess will include presentations by TV presenter and celebrity chef John Torode and Michelin-starred chef and BBC Saturday Kitchen host Michel Roux Jr. (above). Bake Off star Lottie Bedlow will also join the line-up.

All-inclusive fares for a balcony stateroom on Princess Cruises’ three-night UK cruises start from £389pp.

Princess has also expanded its ‘Book with Confidence’ policy, which now allows guests the flexibility to change their holiday plans 30 days before the day of departure, receiving cancellation fees as a future cruise credit.

This flexible booking option is available for any cruise bookings made up to 30 June on cruises departing up to 31 December.
