MSC Cruises UK & Ireland Managing Director Antonio Paradiso said that the series "will bring the magnificence of MSC Virtuosa into living rooms across the country, giving viewers an inside look into life onboard one of our world-class ships." Channel 5 has hosted a number of programmes about cruises in the same 9PM TV slot, including Cruising with Jane McDonald and The Most Expensive Cruise Ship in the World, about life onboard Seven Seas Explorer.

Much of the series was filmed in Malta. It was produced with the support of the government of Malta, through the financial incentives of the Malta Film Commission. Production was "expected to generate around 2.3m euros into the local economy, according to the Malta Film Commission."

The i Paper described the show as "not supposed to be a comedy, but Shayne Ward's silly cruise ship murder mystery is sheer ridiculous fun".
