The member cruise lines of the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA)
are offering an array of onboard enrichment programs. Not long ago, the
words "education" and "vacation" were rarely used in the same sentence, but
with the graying of the baby boomer generation, more travelers are seeking
intellectual fulfillment while on vacation, CLIA said. Depending on the
cruise line, vacationers can attend a workshop in Shakespearian acting
taught by alumni of London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, or study French
with a Berlitz instructor or discover undersea wonders with oceanographer
Jean-Michel Cousteau. Guest lecturers also include noted astronomers,
celebrated authors, diplomats, politicians, professors, scientists,
naturalists and explorers. "Guests who choose to learn on a cruise are
seeking an entertaining educational experience," said Terry L. Dale,
president and CEO of CLIA. "Guests aboard CLIA member-line ships give
consistently high scores to the cruise lines' innovative enrichment
programs." For more information, visit www.cruising.org.
