        understanding — and we don’t think those interactions should end at the gangplank. That’s why we continue your cultural
        immersion beyond your time in port, bringing local performers and destination-savvy lecturers on board to help you
        form deeper connections with the places you visit. It’s all part of our promise to deliver destinations in ways no one else can.
