A CRUISE filmed for a new Channel 4 reality show turned into a "drug-fuelled orgy" with cocaine "easier to buy than booze", passengers claimed.

Passenger Alicia Morris, 37, said: “It was like a floating episode of Geordie Shore with drugs and escorts and a police raid or two. The show was being filmed all the time on the boat, with cameras everywhere.”

Ten twenty-something reality TV stars were filmed battling against each other in a series of tasks, joined by 1,500 passengers keen to enjoy the tour from Barcelona through Cannes, Ibiza, Palma and Catalan city.

But as the ship arrived in Cannes, one Briton was arrested, another passenger had vomited into the swimming pool and others had to be pushed around the decks in wheelchairs.

A horrified passenger told MailOnline: "It was easier to get a bag of coke on-board than it was to get a drink. It was mad."

Another passenger told The Sun: “Sometimes you didn’t know if you were on a cruise or in the middle of some drug-fuelled orgy.”

Channel 4 producers bragged it would become “the most Instagrammed event this year”.

But passengers claimed drugs were freely available and drunken guests ran riot.

Alicia said: “It was a far cry from the glamorous party cruise it’s advertised to be. It was carnage.”

One guest who boarded in Barcelona said: “People were smoking weed.”

Another revealed: “There were big white double beds around the pool too and I saw people all over each other on them.”

There is no suggestion any of those in the show were involved in any wrongdoing.

Travel firm Anchored chartered the ship from operator Royal Caribbean Cruises.

Other passengers had to cast their votes for the winner.

Royal Caribbean Cruises said it had a zero tolerance policy for use of illegal drugs. It added there was a “strict guest conduct policy” and “ship charters were held to the same strict standards”.
