"Seeing, learning and doing more" has always been the fundamental character of a cruise with Voyages of Discovery - and the ethos is central to the new entertainment program for the Voyages of Discovery’s Winter 10/11 program.Expressly designed to deliver engaging, informative classes which empower guests to experience the destinations from new perspectives, the new entertainment program offers passengers the chance to spend more time with like-minded passengers who share their interests.
For the budding Turner, a range of artistic workshops includes a watercolor painting course, which takes place in the luxurious surroundings of the yacht club with exquisite panoramic views for inspiration. The class is designed to build skills, confidence and visual creativity so passengers can paint their very own pictures of the stunning landscapes, wildlife and flora and fauna of the exotic and dramatic locations.
A choir at sea is open to singers of all abilities, whether experienced musicians or first timers. Participants needn’t read music as skilled choir masters will quickly have passengers singing in tune and learning as they go along.
Craft workshops include jewelry-making, sewing work and embroidery so that guests can try their hand at replicating the skills and handicrafts of the cultures they experience or create some truly unique souvenirs. The Digital World course allows passengers to free their cameras from the auto setting and capture their experiences and memories as they truly intended before sharing the photographs with friends and family through the information super-highway.
While Discovery is perhaps most famous for the quality of the lectures delivered by its expert guest speakers, the quality of the friendly tuition from artists and crafts teachers is no less impressive. The classes and workshops are welcoming and far-removed from the over-bearing razzmatazz that is sometimes associated with cruising. The classes take full advantage of the benefits of small ship cruising, giving guests the peace and quiet they require and bringing them closer to the inspirational scenery.

It would be nice if more cruise lines follow their lead and have interesting activities onboard. I find that especially on sea days there is not enough happening. Also cruise lines should have more themed cruises as it means you can meet other like minded guests.
