Learning…participate in the Cunard Insights Program, where world-class guest lecturers and luminaries hold seminars and lead discussions.  You may find a world-renowned novelist onboard, a political figure, or a scientist who will share their insights and enrich your knowledge bank on a variety of topics.  This program is so popular that many guests seek out who will be onboard and book accordingly.  Do be aware that the guest lecturer can change at any time.   Perhaps your longing to learn takes a different form..literally.  Take a dance lesson – begin or enhance your dancing skills and then dance the evenings away.  Perhaps opt for a fencing lesson!  There is a lot to do, and a lot to learn…and no obligation to do any of it if you just wish to relax and breathe in the sea air.  

Your day is yours…on a sea day, enjoy the fabulous service onboard, perhaps even including your own butler.  Cast your worries aside and forget your daily obligations…they have been suspended for your time onboard.  Pamper yourself with a visit to the spa, relax poolside or on deck, and eat what you desire.  You can create your ideal day here.  When in port choose to wander on your own, or take advantage of Cunard’s excellent excursion program, including Bespoke Experiences.  

Food….is fabulously prepared, and the famous Afternoon Tea is not to be missed.  Choose to dine casually, or more formally…whatever fits your mood, you will be sure to find your place. You can eat in the main dining room, choose an alternate dining experience at a slight additional expense, or visit the pub for an authentic British experience and more…all are top-notch.  

Entertainment…choose your pleasure.  Theatre?  Dance?  Music?  FUN! Each evening onboard brings a special highlight, from guest entertainers, dance productions to theatre productions in spectacular venues.  The quality of entertainment is outstanding and reflects the long-term relationship that the Cunard brand has had with entertainment for so many years.  Cunard is also fabulous for guests that love to dress up for dinner and make special memories at events such as the Masquerade Ball.
