Artful Travelers presents truly unique adventures around the globe for fans of American public television and radio. The travel series allows supporters of public broadcasting the exclusive opportunity interact with the personalities and producers behind their favorite programs, series, and specials. In partnership with our award-winning travel partner Regent Seven Seas Cruises, we create unforgettable journeys to exotic, fascinating locales that are unlike any other available.
In 2004, our maiden voyage – known as “PTV at Sea” or Public Television at Sea – set sail from Rome with esteemed guests including PBS’ Jim Lehrer, Ciao Italia’s Marry Ann Esposito, and Antiques Roadshow’s Leigh and Leslie Keno. Since that memorable sailing, passengers have celebrated PBS and NPR during more than twenty adventures stretching around the globe, from Iceland to Brazil to India.
