The former cruise singer had been on many incredible cruise trips in her lifetime. But there’s one destination that Jane had never visited.
She said: “Everybody used to rave and get excited about going to Alaska”.
However, she told viewers the cold had put her off.
For this trip, Jane boarded the Nieuw Amsterdam in Vancouver in Canada to explore Alaska’s wonders.
Jane told viewers: “I love getting on a new ship and finding my cabin. Even though you’ve seen it in the brochure, you never know what it’s going to be like until you get in there and check it out.”
She was pleased to see a “nice, comfy bed” and very happy to have a washing line in her ensuite.

Jane told viewers: “These parties are a great way to meet your fellow passengers. Every cruise has one so don’t feel shy.
“Just go and mingle and say hello to everyone. Remember a stranger is just a friend you haven’t met yet.”
