Oprah. Speaking at two full-house engagements, Winfrey shared her journey
to success, her self-proclaimed Year of 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.
