Queen Mary 2 Welcomes
Acclaimed Renaissance Man
VALENCIA, Calif., June 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Stage, film
and TV superstar Alan Cumming
will join Cunard as part of the luxury cruise line's famed Insights
program on the January 3, 2019
Transatlantic Crossing (M902) on flagship ocean liner Queen Mary 2.
While sailing on the seven-night voyage from New York to Southampton, England, Cumming will be offering
a Q&A session with guests and hosting a screening of
Instinct, his new hit TV series on CBS in which he plays Dr.
Dylan Reinhart. Instinct,
which premiered in March and was just renewed for a second season,
is an American police drama based on James
Patterson's Murder Games.
"Cunard is delighted to welcome the amazingly talented
Alan Cumming on Queen Mary 2's January 3,
2019 Transatlantic Crossing," said Josh Leibowitz, senior vice president,
Cunard North America. "During the
voyage, our guests will be able to hear and learn from one of the
best in the industry—from his life and career to new ventures in
the arts. This will be a Transatlantic highlight not to be
missed."
Cumming has appeared in numerous films and television shows, was
nominated for Emmys, SAG Awards and Golden Globes for his work on
The Good Wife, and is a long-time renowned stage actor both
in New York and London. Most famously he won a Tony award for
his role in Cabaret on Broadway and is best-known for his
film roles
in Emma, GoldenEye, Anniversary
Party, and X2. In 2017 he opened his own cabaret
club in New York, "Club Cumming,"
and currently tours the country performing Legal Immigrant,
a show of songs and stories about his life and loves in his adopted
homeland.
A dedicated humanitarian and activist, the Scottish-American
Cumming devotes much of his energy to promoting LGBTQ and human
rights, receiving over forty awards for his humanitarianism and
social activism. He received the Great Scot and Icon of
Scotland awards and was made an
Officer of the British Empire for his contributions to the arts and
LGBTQ equality by the Queen.
Cunard's celebrated Insights program offers fascinating experts
from various industries on every voyage, holding lectures and
Q&As throughout the trip. In addition to Alan Cumming, Cunard is offering extraordinary
