Adventure and the desire for this cruise to be the start of
something meaningful for those on board. "We are in the business of
trying to expand the way people see themselves and their lives, and
that's what travel does," explained Winfrey. "I want it to be more
than just a trip. I want it to be the start of something big
that started with this adventure of a lifetime that fuels and feeds
in a way that is grand and deep and wide." King later joined
Winfrey on stage for a candid and entertaining chat while answering
audience questions.

behind you."
SuperSoul 100 Member India.Arie: Grammy Award-winning
singer, songwriter and self-proclaimed soulbird India.Arie took to

guests to find peace in their daily lives.
SuperSoul 100 Member Glennon Doyle: Love Warrior Doyle took guests on an
enlightening journey through her life that led from addiction to
recovery and how she became a voice for universal truth. With her

be loved, Doyle expressed profound sentiments including, "We do not
get evicted from a life unless there is a truer life that we're
supposed to walk into."

style presentation on The Mainstage that revealed his tips, tricks
and secrets for essential pieces that everyone needs in their
