My assignment on Queen Mary 2 was very enjoyable and successful. Trans Atlantic crossings, with 7 days at sea, can be challenging for guests but Cunard have an excellent Insights lecture programme. I delivered 3 talks during the crossing and I also had a Q&A session that lasted for an hour and a half with many excellent questions. I am now at home for just over a month before joining Viking Jupiter for a trip from Barcelona to Buenos Aires.
