The vessel sails the UK this year, homeporting in Southampton.
‘Now in its fifth year, our UK-based celebrity speaker programme always receives rave reviews from our guests,’ said Tony Roberts, VP Princess Cruises UK & Europe. ‘Having the chance to hear from household names spanning TV, sports and entertainment during your holiday is a unique opportunity not often found at a land-based resort, and further adds to the wide range of entertainment and activities we already have onboard the beautiful Sky Princess.’
The speaker line-up is part of the 'Encounters with Discovery at Sea' series, delivered owing to Princess Cruises’ partnership with Discovery Channel.
