Crown Princess Star Studded Guest Speaker Line-Up Revealed.

Just a little information for you this week, I’ve been pleased to book many clients on the Crown Princess sailings for Spring/Summer 2017, so if you are of the lucky ones of those you’ll be interested to know Princess Cruises have revealed the guest speaker line-up for the upcoming Spring/Summer sailings.

Forming part of Princess’ Encounters with Discovery series, this is first time the line has introduced such a programme on one of its U.K. based ships. The programme includes stars from the worlds of entertainment, politics and sport, including former football manager Harry Redknapp who will appear on two separate cruises; Coronation Street actress Beverley Callard; and former England cricket captain Graham Gooch.

Each guest speaker will host a 45-minute talk followed by a Q&A session and a meet-and-mingle, with the opportunity for photographs and book signings.

Princess Cruises’ vice president UK and Europe Tony Roberts commented: “We’re thrilled to announce such a prominent group of speakers, who will further enhance the onboard activities and events for our guests on Crown Princess. To be able to bring such well-known figures onboard is a real privilege.”

Some speakers will also be judges on ‘The Voice of Ocean’, an onboard singing competition for guests, which is based on ITV’s ‘The Voice’.

The full line up of guest speakers is as follows;

–Katie Nicholl (Royal correspondent and commentator), on a 14-night Mediterranean cruise, departing April 22nd.

–Beverley Callard (actress, Liz McDonald in Coronation Street), on a 7-night Spain & France cruise, departing May 6th.
