Cruising with Jane McDonald

The presenter travels up the Rhine, creating her very own Christmas in her cabin aboard the SS Antoinette. Along the way, she visits some of the most dazzling festive markets that Europe has to offer, sampling traditional food and drink, as well as unique seasonal customs. Back on board, the fun continues as Jane joins her fellow shipmates to make decorations and create her signature Christmas dish. A rousing musical performance by carol singers entertains passengers as the ship makes its way to Switzerland, which is the final stop on this magical festive cruise.

A look back at the best bits, the never-seen-before out-takes and bizarre moments from the past four series of Cruising with Jane McDonald. Plus, a version of the festive classic The 12 Days of Christmas is sung by carollers from Jane's home town of Wakefield.

The singer embarks on a Christmas tour of Norway by cruise ship, beginning her journey in Bergen, where she visits the world's largest gingerbread city. She meets a swimming Santa on a trip to Scandinavia's biggest natural aquarium, before venturing deeper into the Arctic circle to sample mead at a traditional Viking midwinter festival in a replica of a longhouse. Finally, she takes a snowmobile ride across the Russian border.

Previously unseen highlights of the singer's trip in which she explored Iceland aboard the Ocean Diamond, which began life as a ferry, but now braves the freezing Arctic seas to provide passengers with breathtaking views of the country's rugged shorelines.
