Broadcaster Michael Nicholson Joins Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Vistas Onboard Enrichment Programme

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is delighted to announce that the renowned TV correspondent, Michael Nicholson, OBE, MA, is the latest in a line of glittering speakers to join its Vistas cruise enrichment programme.

Ipswich, United Kingdom, December 09, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Michael will be the guest speaker on Boudicca’s 23-night cruise to the Mediterranean, D1223, departing from Portsmouth on 12th October 2012.

Michael Nicholson is best known as a seasoned and highly-acclaimed foreign correspondent, reporting on wars and natural disasters the world over. He has reported from no fewer than 18 war zones during his long and illustrious career, including Nigeria, Biafra, Vietnam, Cambodia, Beirut, Israel, Cyprus, Congo, Rwanda, The Falklands, the Balkans and both Gulf Wars.

Michael was ITN’s first Bureau Chief in South Africa, based in Johannesburg; he reported on news from all over Africa between 1976 and 1981, then journeyed overland back to the UK with his family – a 14,000-mile journey that took six months.

He has worked for Channel 4, as Washington Correspondent for the ‘Morning News’, and as co-presenter on its weekly current affairs programme, ‘The World This Week’. He has also worked with ITN, presenting the early evening news, and acting as Chief Foreign Correspondent for ‘News at Ten’.

Most recently, Michael has written and presented a series of documentaries, based on his war experiences, with the title ‘Nicholson Back to the Front’, revisiting some of the hotspots of his career, including South Africa, Zimbabwe, the Middle East, The Falklands, Vietnam, Angola and Cyprus.

Cruise guests can enjoy Michael's fascinating and informative talks in the comfort and elegance of Boudicca on this exciting Mediterranean itinerary, which visits Portimăo (Portugal), Ibiza (Spain), Valletta (Malta), Piraeus (for Athens, Greece), Çanakkale (Turkey), Istanbul (Turkey), Kusadasi (Turkey), Gozo (Malta), Mahon (Menorca) and Gibraltar, returning to Portsmouth.
