etruriaguy Posted July 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hi there. I'm off on a lovely trip on the Arcadia on July 30th to Norway and was wondering if p&o have guest speakers that they announce before the trip? I've looked with no luck so far, and wondered if I'm either not looking in the right places or it's something they don't do. Any help is much appreciated. Fraser.

Mrs Tinkywinky Posted July 19, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I tried to find out before our Arcadia cruise in June and couldn't find any mention of speakers. I hoped for a Scandinavian/Baltic slant and there was a round the world yatchsman and a mysterious ex counter espionage speaker who , of course ,wouldn't say exactly what he used to do. He was very entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etruriaguy Posted July 19, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I tried to find out before our Arcadia cruise in June and couldn't find any mention of speakers.

He was very entertaining. I was on the QE last year and that sounds like the same speakers we had. There was an espionage guy and Robin Knox Johnson the yachtsman, both very interesting,, If it is the same ones I want their life going on lots of cruises. Haha. Oh well, will just need to wait and see,, thanks for your reply,, [emoji3] Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you really enjoy it. I've been hooked on cruises since my early 20's but first time on Arcadia. It's so relaxing and a great holiday. Norways stunning too. My third time up there on a cruise. We're only doing one excursion so far, the railway one at Flåm. Can't wait.. and started looking out my clothes tonight. I'm keen.

Monorail Orange Posted July 19, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2017 It would be nice if they could give you a preview before you board - perhaps in the tours book that they send out. Of course there's the obvious issue of planning ahead, and naturally things can change. I've seen some great speakers, some that did not interest me at all and some that you'd think would be no good but turned out to be fascinating.

Yes some of the topics sound a bit strange but turn out to be fascinating, we had one speaker that talked about drugs which you would think would be depressing but was fascinating. We have had everything from the Romanoffs and fsbergey eggs, through Vikings to cleaning tips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Puss Posted July 22, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I'm afraid P&O never tell you in advance who the speakers will be. You will only ever find that out once on board. Sent from my Sony Z1 Compact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jh1809 Posted July 24, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 24, 2017 With a bit of help from Google..........http://www.historicalmurders.com Brian I think I had him on Aurora last autumn. At any rate the speaker talked about historical murders. He was indeed very good, but nowadays my memory is too poor for me to be sure of his name.
