If you like your music highbrow, then the BBC Proms season will come as music to your ears. Not only is London alive with music, this theme has also spread to the high seas after a recent passenger survey revealed that 81% of guests onboard Swan Hellenic’s Minerva preferred classical music. Acknowledging passenger tastes Swan Hellenic have invited Opera Tottie onboard A Spanish Summer to keep everyone entertained on their journey across the Mediterranean.

The duo of Carolyn Allen and Paul Smith have many years experience in the entertainment industry and will come together to perform music across a multitude of genres taking inspiration from the rousing crescendos and dramatic orchestral arrangements of the Proms. Also onboard as a guest speaker is James Naughtie. The popular radio personality has been a presenter of the televised Proms since 1992, and has also presented opera programmes such as Radio 3’s Opera News.
