Spirit of Adventure | Guest speakers

Guest speakers

Every cruise aboard Spirit of Adventure is enhanced by our expert guest speakers who will give lectures of up to a maximum of 45 minutes long. Their aim is to inform and enthuse, bringing to life the host of cities, sites and landmarks that you will take in during your voyage and to share their enthusiasm in an accessible and friendly way.

All of our guest speakers are experts in their fields, ranging from archaeology, art and history to religion, culture and cuisine. Their knowledge, insight and passion for the places you visit and the cultures you experience will ensure you get the most from your cruise as they enrich your holiday with their own stories, experiences and knowledge.
