"Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted ...but to weigh and consider."
-Sir Francis Bacon
Sundeck on the Regent Seven Seas Mariner

Book Clubs
at Sea

Our Novel Passages Book Clubs are a fusion of book discussions and exotic experiences. The heart of a book’s setting - its culture, history, and landscape - unfolds in your imagination, your discussions, and before your eyes.

With activities ranging from moonlight deck sessions to early-riser coffee chats, we have a book club format to fit your cruising and discussion style. Each club is guided by expert hosts, who start meetings off and pop in from time to time to throw in unexpected ideas. Moreover, our guest authors like to drop by, giving you far more intimate experiences with authors than traditional reading or lecture venues offer.

We like to create flexible and creative formats for each cruise so guests can tailor their experience. You can join just two or three discussions or participate in a club nearly every day of your adventure. You can bring your book club and stick together for discussions or split up. Traveling alone or with a friend? There’s nothing like a shared reading-traveling experience to bring new friends together.

Our philosophy is simple - book discussions should give you greater insight, not just into the novel and author, but into your own life, your relationships, hopes and fears. We encourage discussions ranging from literary to personal, from frivolous to profound. We want guests to explore the ideas of a novel along with the landscapes into which they journey.
