Orient's Antiques Roadshow - cruise line Orient Lines - Brief Article

Cruise Travel, July, 2001

Imagine hitting the exotic shopping meccas of the world--places like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Bangkok--armed with "insider secrets" on the best places to shop and the best things to buy. This fall, passengers aboard four of Orient Lines' cruise-tours, stretching from Africa to China, will have the opportunity to do just that.

Experts from the highly popular "Antiques Roadshow" television series will sail aboard the line's Crown Odyssey, offering a series of illustrated lectures and workshops for passengers. Focusing on the art and culture of the countries visited on the cruise, their talks will begin with a historic overview--and then the fun starts. Moving to contemporary items, the experts will offer their professional suggestions on what to look for during port calls, including carvings, ceramics, textiles, furniture, and carpets.
