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’.
Vice President UK and Europe for Princess Cruises stated: ‘Crown Princess is beginning to sell out in Southampton-based cruises, so if you’d like to see one of our speakers in person, all from the comfort of one of our premium ships, now is the time to book your summer holiday sailing.
‘Watch this space as we prepare to host our biggest and most diverse onboard programme ever for a UK-based ship’.
The Encounters with Discovery speaker series aims to educate, inspire and entertain its guests. Princess plan to announce additional developments to the entertainment schedule on Crown Princess later this month.
Crown Princess will sail to the Mediterranean and Northern Europe from April to September 2017 on seven and 14-night cruises.
