The Star's are calling!

Cunard Line forged a partnership with The Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) as a highlight of ‘Cunard Insights,’ the shipboard enrichment program.

RAS Fellows are scheduled to join Queen Mary 2’s Atlantic crossings and Caribbean voyages and Queen Victoria’s Mediterranean sailings.

RAS will offer night sky displays of constellations and star navigation instruction, and highlight astronomical points of interest using the SkyScan software in the planetarium on board Queen Mary 2.

Nighttime ‘star parties’ on deck, informal discussion groups and formal lectures with leading astronomers will also be part of the program.

Now this must be fun!

Princess Cruises passengers are now using Nintendo’s new Wii Fit system, just added the Wii Fit balance games following their U.S. debut last month.

Family competitions will be held on board at venues including the Movies Under the Stars poolside screens, found on five ships. Youth and teen centers will also offer younger cruisers the opportunity to participate in Wii Fit activities.

NCL earlier this month announced it would implement Wii Fit on its ships in late July or early August.
