Cruise and Maritime Voyages

CMV Additions Programme

Adding more to your cruise experience

The relaxing atmosphere created by Cruise & Maritime Voyages is ideal for enjoying our extensive programme of guest speakers, entertainers and craft specialists. We are pleased to present our special Additions Programme, so called because in addition to our highly acclaimed evening entertainment and wide range of leisure facilities, we are presenting a range of other complimentary activities and entertainment for you to enjoy when the mood takes you.

Guest Speakers

Learn more about a fascinating subject from someone who is passionate about their interest and will want to share their knowledge and enthusiasm with you. Cruises of five nights or more are accompanied by one or more of these experts giving informative talks on a range of fascinating subjects. They are generally programmed to take place during days spent at sea rather than in port, so that you won’t miss out.

Arts & Crafts - CMV Super Craft Cruises

With Arts and Crafts growing in popularity, we are including sessions on all cruises of five nights or more where specialists will demonstrate their talents. These may include millinery, bead jewellery, mosaic decoration, calligraphy and decorative card art. You may need to buy materials on board which will be supplied by the crafter for a modest charge. Watch out for our Super Craft cruises where we will be offering a variety of different crafting options.

An Audience With…

Join our light hearted ‘Audience With…’where you are invited to listen to an invited guest speaker or performer talk about their life experience and expert knowledge interspersed with questions from you, the audience. This offers you a great chance to become involved and be a part of the fun. Look out for some celebrity names joining us in 2014 including singer Barbara Dixon and comic actor Melvyn Hayes (It Ain`t Half Hot Mum!).

A Laugh on the Ocean Waves

On selected cruises, enjoy ‘A Laugh on the Ocean Waves’ where you are invited to enjoy the talents of our guest comedians. Laughter is the best medicine so enjoy the talents of our comedy acts with their dedicated evening shows, hear them talk about their life experience and listen to their Comedy Corner interviews with the Cruise Director.

Pathfinder

New for 2014 is our innovative Pathfinder programme walking symbol where those with a more active lifestyle, who perhaps enjoy maintaining their levels of activity whilst exploring new destinations, can join like-minded companions on specially designated cruises. The Pathfinder programme will highlight fitness activities in the Jade Wellness Centre on board and provide opportunities to join some selected optional excursions which focus specifically on active pursuits.

Photography

Make sure you bring your camera (or IPad or tablet!) as whether it is the illuminating ports of call or an evening on board with new friends, there will be plenty of those special moments to capture. On most cruises our designated Photo Expert will be on hand to assist you in improving your photographic skills, making the most of your camera or just finding that right shot.

CMV Club Class

If you’d like to play bridge, backgammon, chess or another activity, simply have a word with our Librarian. After a brief sign-up session you are then put in touch with other passengers who share the same interests, allowing you to make the most of your time aboard. It’s never forced, just helpful.
