Speakers & Acts

Lina Mookerjee

Guest Speaker

Lina is a creative and multi-talented member of society, with a unique career history, and an extremely engaging personality - both on and off stage. For 10+ years she was a professional electrical engineer in the nuclear generation and electricity distribution industries before establishing a nationally acclaimed Yoga School - which led to 15 years of significant personal development for both Lina and hundreds of her students. She also made time for her work as an NHS Trust Governor and Childline Counsellor. Now a senior psychotherapist, media expert commentator, human relations business consultant and published writer, Lina also cares for her disabled husband. She divides her disposable time between her two enduring passions . . . as an enthusiastic self-taught and mostly organic gardener; and sharing her many interests as an enrichment lecturer on international cruise ships. Born and educated in Birmingham, Lina's Hindu Brahmin family background enabled her to acquire extensive knowledge and experience of Indian culture, religion and history. Her first degree was in electrical/electronic engineering, followed by post-grad management training. Lina achieved an MA in Jungian Psychotherapy & Healing 20 years later, as part of her ongoing professional development. She is a seasoned traveller, having extensive experience of India, the Middle East and Europe; and is also a seasoned guest speaker, having delivered her highly entertaining and informative lectures on four separate cruise lines, travelling to North America, Brazil and the Amazon, Scandinavia, Russia and Southern Europe. Her talks list is extensive, including famous people (e.g. from the Queen to Elvis Presley; from Evita Peron to Frank Sinatra); a number of "Whistle-stop Tours" (of a variety of places, e.g. from the Azores to the Faroes, from the Amazon to Normandy); subjects from the arts and history (e.g. Wassily Kandinsky, The Romanovs and Revolution, The Hanseatic League; and a rich mixture of popular topics (e.g. TV Comedy, What is Mind-Body Medicine?, James Bond, and A Story of Chocolate!). Lina will be keen to welcome you to her series of enriching lectures, where she will seek to ensure that you will be informed, entertained -- and occasionally inspired

“Round Britain Cruise June 2024”

Embarkation at Tilbury is excellent. Evening entertainment, comedian Buster and guest speakers were also excellent. We missed some ports due to the good old French dockers being on strike, which was beyond Ambassador's control and the 3 ports missed were ones we really wanted to visit, however we thoroughly enjoyed St Malo and Aberdeen.

Richard Tolson

“Exciting short cruise.”

It was easy to book and fares were explained.

Jennifer Taylor

The address part is a problem. I am from India and the way we write our address is not in conformity with your standard method. It should be accepted as it is written. Some times in the address column it mentions Find. Now you can find a British address in that but not overseas address so you get stuck at that point during booking. Please rectify it if possible

Trusted Customer

“Booking with Ambassador gives full confidence of an enjoyable cruise!”

Your representative Beverley was very helpful and gave me lots of information on the booking of my cabin. Although not my first cruise with Ambassador there’s always new advice to be given especially as my husband has various health problems.

Trusted Customer

“Booking online easy to use”

The booking service online was quick and easy to use as we had cruised on Ambition earlier this year.

Terence Gillard

“Helpful, no pressure, informative service.”

We, my wife and I, decided to treat ourselves to a cruise in 2025, to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We looked at various companies and liked what we saw with Ambassador. As this will be our first cruise we had some questions, and we made the call. Our contact was with Beverley, she could have not been more pleasant and helpful not to mention patient. We are now booked and looking forward to a new adventure!

“Cruising”

Clear information, efficient service.

Trusted Customer

“Change of cruise.”

I was disappointed that I was asked to change the date of my previously booked cruise, with not much information as to why. The alternative date was over Christmas which I did not want to be away from my family. I then had trouble getting in touch with assistant dealing with this, phoning several times to be told she was busy with other customers or not available. The options available could surely dealt with another staff member.

Judith Storie

“Number 30 in queue”

Overall service was good. Only complaint is that I had a query and needed to think about my decision so said would call back in an hour or so. When I did I was number 30 in the queue. Most people can’t wait that long. Think you need to consider a call back service as a message said that emails may take up to 5 working days to reply

Trusted Customer

“Excellent”

Excellent.

Geoffrey Lane

“Helpful”

Very helpful and explained things clearly

“Professional Booking Tool”
