The US-based Travel Channel has commissioned a localised version of Cruise with Stelios, it was announced today.

The show, currently airing on Sky One in the UK, follows entrepreneur Stelios Haji-Ioannou's new low-cost cruise venture, easyCruise.

The US series, renamed Cruiseline, will track the cruise ship this winter as it ferries Americans around the Caribbean.

Meanwhile, Sky One - who will not show the US version - is "in discussions" over producing more original episodes.
