The exciting new line-up for Alaska 2023’s Cunard celebrity speaker programme is live with one of the most recognised faces of outdoor adventure, Bear Grylls OBE, headlining the season.
Bear will be joining Queen Elizabeth’s maiden 2023 Alaska voyage, departing Vancouver on 8th - 20th June - , where he will share his experience as one of the youngest-ever climbers of Mount Everest, bestselling author, TV presenter and all-round adventurer. This voyage will mark the first time Bear has returned to Alaska since his memorable visit with the then-President of the United States, Barack Obama, in 2015 – and his first appearance ever speaking on a cruise ship.
Be charmed by Ketchikan's colourful totem poles, keep a watchful eye for humpback whales, and absorb the splendour of skyscraper-tall glaciers, as you voyage Alaska's icy fjords on Queen Elizabeth.
