The Cruise: A Life at Sea

Episode 6: Dubai to Southampton

Duration: 29 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two HD

The world cruise starts out on its last leg as it leaves Dubai and heads for home. After a short stop in Oman and navigating through an area infamous for its piracy, the Balmoral sails up the Suez Canal and arrives at the Mediterranean port of Alexandria in Egypt.

The Reverend Colin Still and a group of passengers make a pilgrimage to the Allied War Cemetery at El Alamein to commemorate those that fell in the battle.

On board, people come together to take part in the Country Fayre to raise money for charity, and then it is time for the end-of-cruise shows by the passengers and staff on board, as well as tearful goodbyes at the end of the four-month voyage. Show less
