Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton on 29th April

OceansTV, a leading provider of in-cabin TV entertainment to cruise line

In addition to the wedding day's extensive coverage, passengers will also
be able to enjoy a line-up of special TV programming in the weeks building up

offers a uniquely personal perspective on major royal stories from history,
including the marriage of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier and the enduring
union of Edward and Wallace Simpson. Special editions of One Square Mile will
also be shown, in which people from towns and cities across the United
Kingdom will give their thoughts and views about the forthcoming event.

In addition, a regular weekly programme, UK Report: Royal Wedding
Special, will run on BBC World News in the build up to the wedding. Presenter
Mishal Husain will host the show, which gives viewers a unique insight into
all aspects leading up to the big day.

Royal Caribbean International, Princess Cruise Lines, P&O UK and Holland
America are amongst the fleets that will be showing the Royal Wedding
coverage to their passengers.
