Another important hallmark of the Discovery experience is the interesting company you'll keep.

Staff on board will present lectures about the ports that lie ahead. They'll let you know about the highlights you can look forward to before you step ashore, so that you can plan your days ahead, explore on you own, or opt for any of the many optional tours and expeditions we offer.

Also traveling with you will be our guest lectures, distinguished names from the world of politics, television, music, natural history, publishing, business and other fields. Depending on your cruise, they'll add rare insights, share anecdotes about Europe's great treasure houses, and dispel myths around the North Cape.
