Baltic cruise program now online

If you have been waiting to see what presentations will be offered on your cruise of interest, then your wait is over. We have provisional programs for all our ocean cruises now available for download from the program page of each cruise. See list of cruises with the links below.

We are also progressively putting speaker biographies online. The Baltic presenter biographies are there now. The others will follow in the next few days.


RootsTech and Who Do You Think You Are? Live!

These are huge events, on a scale unknown in Australia and New Zealand. We have just returned from exhibiting at RootsTech in Salt Lake City. 21,000 people were registered for this event and the exhibition with around 180 exhibitors was huge. In April we will be exhibiting in the UK at Who Do You Think You Are? Live!, which in the past has attracted over 13,000 visitors. We will also be exhibiting at the major international events in Australia and New Zealand this year – see below for further details.

These are all great events. Our cruises are very small in numbers compared to these, but in one respect we surpass even the biggest international events – in the strength of the conference program we offer. Click here or the graphic below to see how our cruises compare.
