Regent Seven Seas Cruise Announces Voyage Featuring PBS Talent and Emmy Award-Winning Filmmaker Rory Kennedy

Miami, 2014年12月3日 – Regent Seven Seas Cruises will host Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Rory Kennedy for an exclusive preview of her latest project, Last Days In Vietnam, aboard Seven Seas Voyager^® during the 18-night Dynasties and Dragons sailing in Asia on 2015年2月21日. The filmmaker will engage with guests during a question-and-answer session at the end of the screening and provide compelling insight into the making and significance of the film.

Kennedy’s documentary chronicles the chaotic final days of the Vietnam War as the North Vietnamese Army closes in on Saigon and the South Vietnamese resistance crumbles. As the U.S. readies to withdraw, a number of heroic Americans take matters into their own hands, engaging in unsanctioned and often makeshift operations in a desperate effort to save as many South Vietnamese lives as possible.

Continuing a longtime relationship with PBS, Artful Travelers is partnering with Regent Seven Seas Cruises on this exclusive enrichment series showcasing exceptional PBS programming and beloved personalities. The sailing will offer enlightening travel experiences with rare opportunities to meet and interact with some of the nation's most celebrated minds and admired media figures.

As the ship sails from the mystical city of Beijing to incredible ports in China, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, guests will have the opportunity to join panel discussions, question-and-answer sessions and special presentations in the ship’s signature showplace, the Constellation Theater. Additionally, private dinners and cocktail receptions will take place during the voyage allowing guests to enjoy one-on-one conversations and personal interactions with the guest presenters.

Scheduled guests to appear on this voyage include:

• Rory Kennedy, Emmy Award-winning independent documentary filmmaker (Last Days In Vietnam and American Hollow).
• Steven Johnson, Noted author, technology expert and host of PBS’ How We Got to Now with Steven Johnson.
• Mark Bailey, Emmy Award-nominated screenwriter and best-selling author (Of All The Gin Joints: Stumbling Through Hollywood History and Last Days In Vietnam).
