Jane then revisits Sydney, where she dons a wetsuit and takes to the waves on Manly Beach before beginning her cruise aboard the Sun Princess, famed as the ship used in the remake of the classic TV show The Love Boat.

Episode 2 – Friday 11 January:

Jane continues her journey with a visit to Brisbane, where she becomes a zookeeper for the day at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. She then explores the country’s biggest theme park, DreamWorld before continuing on her Princess Cruise to Perth.

Tony Roberts, Princess Cruises’ Vice President of the UK and Europe said:

“We’re delighted to host Jane McDonald onboard Sun Princess as she experiences Australia. We’re looking forward to viewers joining Jane on the other side of the world as she enjoys a relaxing cruise on the beautiful Sun Princess, while visiting some of Australia’s hidden gems including the Pink Lakes of Geraldton and Broome’s dramatic shoreline.”
