Our Signature Experiences

 

On board every cruise, and alongside all the lovely food, drink, entertainment and activities you'd expect, you can enjoy some of our Signature Experiences.

Scenic Discoveries: Out on deck, or from the comfort of our Observatory Lounges, our on board teams provide commentary and point out points and places of interest, often accompanied by nature specialists from whale and marine life charities, ORCA and Ocean Wildlife Encounters. 

Itinerary Insights: Our enthusiastic Guest Speakers are specially chosen to give our like-minded guests a deeper understanding of the culture, history and people of the places that we are visiting. 

Treats of the Region: Our talented chefs will host cookery demonstrations where local delicacies are prepared, where everyone attending is given a taster and the recipe to try for themselves when they return home. 

The Sky at Sea: On clear nights we host star-gazing experiences where you can sit back on the open deck and listen to our experts as they bring the night sky to life. 

The Ship and the Sea: Join us for ‘an audience with’ the Captain or some of our crew, take part in discussion sessions about navigation and chart-reading.
