Cruising with Jane McDonald Specials

Jane McDonald travels on the Rhine from Germany and through France and Switzerland. Along the way, she visits the world's best Christmas markets and creates her very own Christmas on board a truly 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.

Funny moments from the singer's series of voyages around the world.

The singer recalls two festive cruises in an edition featuring previously unseen footage. She starts on the SS Antoinette, travelling up the Rhine, then visits some of the world's best Christmas markets sampling traditional food and drink and getting to grips with unique customs. The Wakefield wonder then goes in search for a Nordic Crimbo on board the Norwegian institution the Coastal Express. Starting in Bergen, Jane feasts her eyes on the world's largest Gingerbread City then continues her cruise to visit Scandinavia's biggest natural aquarium for an encounter with a swimming Santa.
