Travelingman52 Posted February 2, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Anyone any idea what type of lectures will be given on the cruise L1410 (Crossing The Arctic Circle) that myself and my wife are booked upon in July. The last time we went to Norway On Boudicca we had a couple of lectures re the traditions of the Norwegian people given by a very nice lady dressed in national costume. Also when we went to the Baltic on Balmoral there were lectures on Amber and the Faberge eggs. As a couple of the excursions that are on offer in July are bird/nature watching tours I was hoping that they may have some naturalists on board.

Or am i just asking the wrong type of questions? The same thing happened when i posted before when we went to the Baltic, i asked questions that i thought were pertinent, plenty of views but very few replies. Not trying to be annoying but i am feeling rather left out, perhaps i should just stick to asking questions like what to wear, or which restaurant to use if i don't want to attend the formal nights etc. At least folks get replies to these types of posts. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising Nomads Posted March 21, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I think you will find it is very pot luck with the talks on the ships. That is maybe the reason you have not had any replies. Your best bet is to give FO a call and ask them direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_T Posted March 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Not trying to be annoying but i am feeling rather left out, perhaps i should just stick to asking questions like what to wear, or which restaurant to use if i don't want to attend the formal nights etc. At least folks get replies to these types of posts. :confused: Those posts can be replied to by anyone who has ever cruised with Fred, your question requires that people have been on a specific cruise, so you have significantly reduced the chances that anyone reading will be able to help. Don't take it personally, you just happen to be asking questions that very few can answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovccruiser Posted March 21, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Further to Mark T's reply, no two cruises same itinerary necessarily use the same entertainment people or on board lecturers, a very difficult question to answer, Fred may not even know yet.

Hawks11 Posted March 21, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 21, 2014 We sailed above the Artic Circle a couple of years ago in the Balmoral. It was a superb trip and remember the Captain who was a Norwegian giving almost a running commentary on what to look out for as we sailed along. I can't recall any talks on Norway but I did a lot of homework before sailing to help my enjoyment and experience. I was surprised at how little wildlife we saw but not soon after we returned home I saw that Bregen had the largest number of whales swim into the fjiord.

Travelingman52 Posted March 23, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Thanks for all of your replies, it is obviously a case of wait and see. I will of course be doing my own homework and as the time gets closer the anticipation will grow. Thank once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
