Our Onboard Experts

Filter by:
  • Guest Speaker
  • Expedition Staff
  • Cruise Directors & Tour Managers
  • London Festival Opera

Guest speakers will accompany many of our tours and add to your enjoyment of the areas you are visiting through a series of talks and informal discussions on board. Either as a specialist on the area or in a specific field, their onboard talks will bring an added dimension to the tour, complementing the guides who will share their local knowledge with you during your excursions. With backgrounds in areas such as music, art history, maritime history and archaeology, they will truly bring to life the sites and experiences of your journey. Whether during an informed evening lecture on the life of Mozart, whilst accompanying you ashore to the ruins of Ephesus, or standing on deck watching a calving glacier, their knowledge will help you to make the most of your journey.

Our expedition cruises are led by a highly experienced expedition team, including guest speakers. To fully appreciate many of the diverse and remote regions that are visited on our expedition cruises, the staff onboard are one of the most important aspects of the trip and help you understand all that you see. For each voyage, we carefully select the best experts in their field who will lead you every step of the way with their knowledge and enthusiasm. These may include ornithologists, naturalists, marine biologists as well as Zodiac drivers and expedition leaders. Through onboard briefings, informal presentations, whilst accompanying you ashore and on Zodiac excursions, they will share their in-depth knowledge of the wildlife, landscape and natural and cultural history of the region.

On the majority of our small ship and river cruises you will be joined by a Cruise Director and you will be accompanied by one of our experienced Tour Managers when undertaking one of our escorted land tours. Our Cruise Directors and Tour Managers have many years of experience and are in daily contact with our London office to ensure the smooth operation of your holiday. The daily programme is in their capable hands and whenever possible they will host daily briefings to provide you with information on the next day’s activities.
