A leading cruise company is recruiting celebrities to help guests remember some of their special on-board activities while on holiday.

Sonia Holman, marketing director at Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Jim, Jenny and Scarlet on board and look forward to seeing, reading and viewing the big and small guest moments they observe.”

Moir, who will join a Norwegian Fjords cruise, said: “Some of my happiest memories are from travelling, so I am looking forward to stepping on board with my easel and paints and capturing guests’ favourite views for prosperity.”

Eclair said: “My intention is to get the everyday holidaymaker interested in keeping their own journals, even if it is just a record of what you had for dinner.”
