“With Sapphire Princess returning to the UK for a second season, it gives us great pleasure to offer our guests the chance to hear from such a well-known group of speakers, who will further add to the wide range of entertainment and activities we will already have onboard.”

Celebs who will be on board are

Tessa Sanderson (former British Olympic gold medallist javelin thrower and heptathlete) on seven-night Scandinavia cruise departing April 27.

Allan Dennis Rich (songwriter, former Oscar, Grammy, and Golden Globe nominee) on 14-night Baltic Heritage cruise departing May 4.

Paul Burrell (butler to Diana, Princess of Wales) on seven-night Spain and France cruise departing May 25 and 14-night Baltic Heritage cruise departing June 1.

Samantha Bond (actress, Miss Moneypenny in “James Bond” and Lady Rosamund Painswick in “Downton Abbey”) on seven-night Scandinavia cruise departing June 29.

Gok Wan (British fashion consultant, author and TV presenter on “How To Look Good Naked” and “Gok’s Fashion Fix”) on seven-night Norwegian fjords cruise departing July 6. As part of his stay Gok will also host a ‘red carpet’ fashion event onboard.

Duncan James (British singer, TV presenter and “Hollyoaks” actor) on 14-night Mediterranean Explorer cruise departing July 27.

Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards (former British Olympic skier, portrayed in the biographical film “Eddie The Eagle”) on both the 14-night Mediterranean Explorer cruise departing July 27 and seven-night Norwegian fjords cruise departing August 10.

Des O’Connor (British singer, comedian and TV presenter on “The Des O’Connor Show” and “Countdown”) on 14-night Mediterranean Adventurer sailing departing August 17.

Linda Gray (actress, Sue Ellen in “Dallas” and Mrs. Robinson in “The Graduate” theatre production in the West End) on both the 14-night Baltic Heritage cruise departing August 31 and 24-night Canada & New England cruise departing September 14.

Fatima Whitbread (former British Olympic javelin thrower and world record holder) on 24-night Canada & New England cruise departing September 14.

I’m sure some of these guests will pull in a decent crowd and then there are others who I’m really surprised about as wouldn’t have thought would have thought would have been Prince’s target market. but I guess with cruising today they have to appeal to such a wide market. For me personally, these wouldn’t pull me to book a cruise because of them but I guess does add to the onboard variety should it floats your boat.
