I am most looking forward to sharing the story of my father and McLaren from him being a young boy in Auckland, with a crippling disease, through to the global brand that McLaren is today.

Having sporting greats as part of the Cunard Sporting Greats package enables them to share their stories, not only to entertain guests but also to create awareness and inspire them with their achievements.
My husband and I love cruising and have been fortunate to have sailed on a number of voyages including around the world in 2020. What we enjoy the most are the beautiful ships, the exciting and interesting places we visit and the wonderful people we meet on the way. Each cruise we do leaves us with treasured memories and lifelong friends.
