Boston, MA, June 2018 – Scenic Luxury Cruises and Tours, working in partnership with PBS National Sales, has announced its sponsorship of the fifth season of The Great British Baking Show, airing Fridays at 9 p.m. EST beginning June 22^nd.

 

The Great British Baking Show (known as The Great British Bake Off in the UK) is one of the most popular programs on the BBC, and a cultural phenomenon with a lasting influence far beyond its 60-minute runtime. Upon its arrival to PBS, the show has become one of the network’s most popular programs with growth in every demographic, on broadcast and digital platforms.

 

“We are thrilled to be working with PBS, and especially The Great British Baking Show, whose audience shares our passion for enriching their lives through exploration and embraces our spirit of wonder,” adds Joelle Davis, vice president of brand management for Scenic.

 

Just as PBS strives to provide only the highest quality programing to its dedicated audience, Scenic Luxury Cruises and Tours is committed to delivering unparalleled experiences, taking their guests into the cultural heart of the life that has been established over centuries along the waterways of Europe and Southeast Asia. From tracing the intricate waterways of Bordeaux, to the culturally rich Danube River, to a once-in-a-lifetime journey through Southeast Asia, each Scenic journey is handcrafted and created to deliver moments that are truly unforgettable. “We’re thrilled to have Scenic River Cruises back on as a sponsor of the Great British Baking Show. PBS and Scenic River Cruises have a natural brand alignment of expanding people’s horizons and seeking new adventures,” said Adam Gronksi, head of PBS National Sales.
