Cunard has revealed some of the line-up for its Insight Speaker programme on its cruises in 2024 with Gregg Wallace, Dan Snow, Clare Balding and Ross Kemp being among them.

The cruise line's enrichment programme sees authors, explorers, filmmakers and other notable experts entertain guests on the voyages.

No fewer than 430 notable experts will take to the stage across their fleet in 2024, with Cunard saying it is their "largest ever line-up" and up from the 322 speakers in 2023.

Their Queen Elizabeth ship will have some of these speakers whilst the new Queen Anne ship will also show off a few.

Queen Elizabeth guest speakers

Voyages on the Queen Elizabeth ship will take in sights around Alaska in 2024 with "renowned explorers and accomplished adventurers" sharing stories of their journeys.

Alongside that, there will also be Alaskan Native Voices on show with a Cultural Heritage Guide.

Cunard adds: "In particular, Cunard can reveal that investigative journalist and British television icon Ross Kemp will be giving an Insight Speaker talk on board in September, sharing tales of his time in Afghanistan, the Amazon, and following some of the world’s most dangerous gangs.

"The season will also feature the legendary mountaineer Kenton Cool."
