The famous oceanographic expert Jean-Michel Cousteau will share tales from his lifetime of underwater exploration on three Crystal voyages this spring, fall and winter joining one sailing each aboard Crystal Symphony, Crystal Serenity, and Crystal Esprit. Cousteau will share tales and experiences from his lifetime of exploring and documenting the world’s oceans, as well as his ongoing work to continue the legacy of his famous father -Jacques-Yves Cousteau.
The Crystal voyages set to feature Cousteau’s intriguing presentations are, fittingly, geographically diverse.
