Curious intellectuals and self-confessed geeks may be interested in a new cruise package that sails from Miami to Peru with producers and personalities from the highest-rated science series on US TV.

Artful Travelers has announced the launch of a cruise along the Panama Canal with the people behind “NOVA,” an award-winning — and the most-watched — documentary series on US public television.

During the 14-night cruise, which departs Miami and winds its way to Lima, Peru, guests will be able to meet with the producers of “NOVA” and engage in thought-provoking panel discussions with speakers who specialize in politics, current events, and culture.

There will also be opportunities for one-on-one conversations, cocktail receptions and private dinners with personalities throughout the cruise.

The Regent Seven Seas Cruises ship departs January 2014 and ports of call include Curacao, Aruba, Colombia and Ecuador.
