Steve has also been a presenter of Central TV's popular 'Gardening Time' programme and has won a Royal Television Society Award for his Channel 4 series 'Growing Plants'.

Steve's entertaining talks will enhance the experience of guests, while the ship is at sea, and increase their knowledge and understanding of the plant life they will be able to enjoy while visiting these glorious islands.

Prices for the cruise start from GBP1,149 per person, based on two sharing an inside, twin cabin, Grade 'I.' This price includes all meals and entertainment on board and port taxes. Guests booking early may also be eligible for an upgrade to the 'all-inclusive' package, recently launched on selected Fred. Olsen cruises.
