General considerations

• all cruises will have a good mix of port days and sea time for the conference
• all our cruises will have an international team of presenters and an international program
• we aim to offer around 60 or more topics in all, some as parallel electives
• no talks will be scheduled while the ship is in port
• we already have strong interest in the UK cruise from leading presenters and possible sponsors
• to assess interest we are running a survey - please give us your feedback
