VALENCIA, Calif. – Cunard, the luxury British cruise line, has expanded its partnership with the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS) to offer an enriched speaker lineup for its 2024 Alaska season, starting June 21. The collaboration features an RCGS speaker on each voyage, aiming to provide guests with a deeper understanding of the region’s natural and cultural heritage.
The onboard program, part of Cunard’s Insights™ enrichment series, will include presentations from a diverse group of experts, such as explorers, naturalists, and indigenous advocates. Notable speakers include wilderness adventurers Brian and Dee Keating, astronaut Andrew Fuestel, and award-winning filmmaker Patricia Sims, among others.
