TORONTO — Passengers on an upcoming Queen Mary 2 cruise will be able to take painting lessons from actress Jane Seymour.

The Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning star will conduct classes during a transatlantic crossing from New York to Southampton that begins June 3.

Seymour, 63, will also take part in a pair of Q&A sessions to talk about her career and will attend a book-signing event on the ship.

“I am honoured to be invited to join the many special guests and luminaries who have sailed with Cunard over the years,” Seymour said, in a release. “I fondly recall sailing on the QE2 and am looking forward to being onboard once again in this special 175th Anniversary year.”

In addition to her acting work — she is best known for the TV series Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman — Seymour is also renowned for her watercolours and oil paintings. She also designed a jewelry collection for a U.S. retailer and has penned several books and a series of children’s books.
