Q&A with Scenic Cruise Director, Richard Grey Cruise Director Richard Grey has years of experience under his belt managing river cruises along Europe’s greatest waterways. We caught up with him to discuss what his daily work program looks like, and what he enjoys about working alongside National Geographic.

How would you describe your role as a cruise director?

My job is to focus on exceeding the guest’s expectations, so they go home with such great memories and, hopefully, a whole bunch of new friends. I am required to have a good understanding of the ports, so guests wishing to do any independent touring can rely on us for good advice and guidance.

How does working as a cruise director on a Scenic and National Geographic cruise differ?

We need to be familiar with how they do their lectures and with their involvement during excursions. We do this by working with their staff beforehand. This gives everyone an advance understanding of each role and the expectations. We also spend time doing webinars with the National Geographic experts, so we can assist the experts when on board.

This improves our own knowledge, which in turn gives us the opportunity to better guide our guests on nonNational Geographic itineraries.

How do National Geographic cruises differ?

We’ll usually feature one expert on the promoted topic, alongside an esteemed National Geographic photographer.

Not only do they have the ability to open our eyes to so many things we didn’t know before, and on a range of subjects, they will share priceless techniques used by top ranked professionals. And, as the experts are on board for the entire cruise, guests can meet them at dinner, on excursions or while having a drink in the lounge, giving them an opportunity to interact and ask any burning questions.

Q&A with National Geographic Photographer, Sisse Brimberg Award-winning National Geographic photographer Sisse Brimberg has produced more than 30 stories for National Geographic magazine over the last four decades.

Her work ranges from documenting the life of fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen, to a National Geographic project chronicling the Viking culture. Here, she reflects on the pleasures of traveling by ship and some of the unique photo opportunities that await travelers on these trips.

What do you most enjoy about traveling by ship?

In my opinion, there is no better way to travel than sailing on board a ship.

I’ve always enjoyed this type of travel, where you venture ashore and get to know new places and people. Then you return to your lovely ship – your home base– which is ready to take you on the next adventure. From a practical standpoint, I like to spend my energy on being creative and not on having to move from place to place, with no need to unpack more than once. You can focus on really getting to know the places you explore.

What can our guests expect to learn about photography while traveling with you?

As the on board photographer, I have a wonderful opportunity to teach my fellow travelers about photography, whatever their level is. I love that I can help guests take better pictures, and through the medium of photography, help them capture the spirit of the places they explore. This gives them the chance to take home a great set of photos from the journey, which they can share with family and friends.

What are you looking forward to as the National Geographic photographer on board these new river cruises?

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work at many of the destinations where we are going, and I can’t wait to share my experiences and my knowledge of these places with our travelers. I will also have the opportunity to give talks on board the ship to open the door to the world of photography for anyone interested. We are going to have fun.
