The last time we were at the <\/span>Smithsonian Institute<\/a> in <\/span>Washington<\/a> DC, about a year ago, we re-discovered what an intimidating place it can be. You think you can “do” the Smithsonian in a day when, in fact, you need a week…even when you have a high-energy teenage grandson at your side.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting in July, Regent Seven Seas<\/a> is taking the Smithsonian to sea, in a manner of speaking.<\/p>\n

Called The Smithsonian Collection by Smithsonian Journeys<\/i>, here’s basically what it is:<\/p>\n

\"Sunburst\"<\/a>• On the ship, lectures by “charismatic” experts — there are 14 historians, authors and diplomats listed on Regent’s website — followed by “spirited” discussions<\/p>\n

• On the shore, select shore excursions with a lecturer to become fully immersed in the history of the destination<\/p>\n

This kind of thing isn’t for everyone, of course. It promises, however, to be similar to the kind of enrichment you get from visiting the Institution itself. It will be on the majority of sailings, more than 80, this year and next, on itineraries throughout the world.<\/p>\n

The cruises seem to range from 8 to 24 nights, on a premium ship. That’s the good news. The bad is that it costs a lot more than visiting the Smithsonian Institution — even for a whole week.<\/p>\n
