Tina Brown and Harold Evans to Join Cunard's Insights® Program
on Queen Mary 2 Voyage in August
VALENCIA, Calif., June 26, 2017 /CNW/ -- Luxury cruise line
Cunard has announced that literary legend Tina Brown will be a featured guest speaker on
flagship liner Queen Mary 2's seven-night Transatlantic Crossing
out of New York, departing
August 12, 2017.
Brown joins the voyage as part of Cunard's Insights®
Program, and will give lectures, Q&A's and mingle with guests
during the Crossing to Southampton,
England. As 2017 marks the
20th anniversary of Princess
Diana's death, Tina will discuss her in depth knowledge of
the princess, including her personal relationships and life in the
spotlight. Among many of Brown's ground-breaking literary
accomplishments, she is known for her 2007 New York Times Best Seller "The Diana
Chronicles," a detailed biography of the late princess, and she was
also featured in the recent ABC special, "The Last 100 Days of
Diana," which aired in May.
"We are delighted to have Tina
Brown sail with us as a featured speaker," said Josh Leibowitz, senior vice president,
Cunard North America. "She is a
long-time patron of Cunard and our guests will be thrilled to have
the opportunity to learn from her in such an intimate setting."
Brown started out as a young writer for Punch Magazine
and The Sunday Times and quickly rose through the ranks
eventually becoming the Editor-in-Chief of Tatler. Her
editorship of Tatler resulted in a 300% circulation rise,
after which she edited Vanity Fair. In 1992 she became the
first female editor of The New Yorker, which was honored
with 10 National Magazine Awards during her tenure. She is
currently CEO of Tina Brown Live Media, which produces global Women
in the World summits. In 2000 she was made a Commander of the Order
of the British Empire (CBE) for services to journalism, and in 2008
was inducted into the Magazine Editors' Hall of Fame.
Also joining the voyage is Brown's husband, a literary giant in
his own right, Harold Evans. As
editor of The Sunday Times, Evans exposed the negligence in
the poisoning of thousands of thalidomide babies, and
the cover up of the treachery of Kim
Philby, undetected for years as a KGB spy at the heart of
the British establishment. The documentary "Attacking the
Devil," currently on Netflix,
details his famous thalidomide campaign. He was
knighted in 2003 for services to journalism. Since 2011, he has
been editor-at-large for Reuters. Evans will also speak onboard,
giving true insight to what has been an incredible career.
