DAILY EXPRESS | CRUISE WORLD

TRAVEL the globe – and take it with you as you go. Holland America Line has an exclusive partnership with BBC Earth, the channel filled with natural wonders, immersing guests in shows and films aboard its ships.

Frozen Planet Live is a groundbreaking concert based on the Frozen Planet television series. Musicians play a specially orchestrated score by composer George Fenton (creator of music for many BBC wildlife series) as screen images take guests on a journey into the polar regions.

The What on Earth! family game show delves into the natural world as teams vie against each other on the main stage where they must guess locations, identify animal sounds and solve puzzles.

Less formal is Trivia from Earth, another fun, team-based quiz while youngsters can enjoy the BBC Earth for Club HAL Tweens.

Another show, BBC Earth Alaska, has been created to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Holland America Line exploring Alaska.

On BBC Earth feature cruises, guests can learn about documentaries with masterclasses by producers, presenters and cameramen.
