<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; color: #000000;">The immense job of drydocking Sea Princess will be featured in the <span class="xn-chron">June 3</span> episode of National Geographic Channel's (NGC) top-rated show, <em>World's Toughest Fixes</em>. &nbsp;TV viewers can go behind the scenes as host <span class="xn-person">Sean Riley</span> follows the entire process from the time the Princess Cruises ship enters the drydock to the final sea trials.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; color: #000000;">Airing on <span class="xn-chron">Thursday, June 3</span> at <span class="xn-chron">9 p.m. ET</span>/PT on NGC, the show was filmed while <em>Sea Princess</em> was in a regularly scheduled drydock at BAE Systems San Francisco Ship Repair last September. &nbsp;The episode focuses on the enormous task of completing a multitude of drydock projects in just 15 days, with emphasis on several technical "fixes" on the bottom of the ship that could only be accessed when the ship is out of the water.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; color: #000000;">"This is a unique opportunity for audiences to really appreciate the amazing around-the-clock effort needed to keep our ships in top shape to deliver the experience our passengers expect," said <span class="xn-person">Jan Swartz</span>, Princess Cruises executive vice president. &nbsp;"We're excited that the National Geographic Channel was interested in featuring this rare behind-the-scenes project."</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; color: #000000;">One of the network's most popular shows, <em>World's Toughest Fixes</em> takes viewers inside some of the most daunting repair jobs with Riley, a professional master rigger, as he works with many of the world's top mechanics to show how they tackle these challenging fixes. <em>World's Toughest Fixes</em> airs Thursdays at <span class="xn-chron">9 p.m. ET</span>/PT on NGC.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; color: #000000;">Riley joins the <em>Sea Princess</em> drydock crew on a number of tasks, adding his own elbow grease and expertise along the way and tries out several drydock jobs. &nbsp;He helps strip and power wash the hull, tries his hand at upholstery work and joins the team working high up on the ship to seal the windows. &nbsp;He even gives viewers an up-close view inside the tail shaft housing as he crawls in to show the audience the work being done.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; color: #000000;">Throughout the episode viewers will get a glimpse of the buzz of activity on a ship in drydock, including a look at installation of carpet and floors, the stripping of wooden decks, and even a glimpse of the ship's new adults-only Sanctuary which was constructed during the drydock.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; color: #000000;">More photos of last fall's <em>Sea Princess</em> drydock are available in the Sea Princess Drydock Journal. &nbsp;Behind-the-scenes photos of the World's Toughest Fixes crew at work during the shoot are available on the Princess Flickr photostream. </span></p>
