Archbishop Desmond Tutu has been signed up as a guest lecturer by Cunard.
 
The Nobel Peace Prize winner will be on board Queen Mary 2 between Port Louis and Cape Town next March as part of the ship’s world cruise.
 
Other lecturers booked for QM2’s ‘Insights’ programme include writer and broadcaster Bill Bryson; anchorman of BBC Radio 4’s ‘Today’ programme, John Humphreys; comedy script writers Dick Clement and Ian le Frenais; and motor racing broadcaster Murray Walker.

Travelling on Queen Victoria will be former independent MP Martin Bell and ex-ITN royal correspondent Nicholas Owen.

Commenting on Archbishop Tutu’s forthcoming voyage, Cunard president and managing director Peter Shanks said:“It is a great honour for Cunard to be able to welcome on board an internationally respected figure of such eminence, and we are confident our passengers will be transfixed by what he has to say.”
