Philip Price is a highly respected environmental lecturer and keynote speaker, renowned for his captivating talks on the natural world, marine biology, and the global impacts of climate change. A passionate communicator and lifelong adventurer, Philip inspires audiences with both scientific rigour and powerful storytelling. His most significant achievement to date is his ongoing role as a lecturer on major cruise lines, including P&O, Cunard, Marella, Fred Olsen, Viking, and Saga, where he has been delivering impactful talks since 2015. His ability to communicate complex ecological topics with clarity and enthusiasm makes him a sought-after figure for events focused on sustainability, exploration, and conservation.
Philip's journey began with a degree in Zoology from University College Cardiff in 1984, which sparked a lifelong passion for the natural world. Though his early professional life saw him succeeding in the fast-paced realm of city headhunting, his intrinsic love for biology and the environment never waned. Over the years, Philip has participated in extraordinary expeditions that shaped his worldview, including traversing the Sahara Desert north to south, mountain biking across Iceland, and climbing remote mountain peaks in the Hoggar, Air, and Tibesti ranges. These formative experiences laid the foundation for his environmental advocacy and scientific curiosity, which now inform his thought-provoking talks.
Philip’s professional achievements span continents and disciplines. He has spent extended periods in the Arctic and High Arctic, conducting personal research and developing his expertise on climate change. In 2023, he advised the Government of Sierra Leone on the sustainable development of eco-tourism, showcasing his commitment to merging scientific knowledge with practical application. His lectures on topics such as marine apex predators, rainforest biodiversity, and climate science are supported by the latest research, bolstered by his links to leading environmental scientists. Philip's work with the Fred Olsen team on the Balmoral, where he delivered a well-received series of lectures for their inaugural voyage to the Antarctic, exemplifies his ability to engage audiences across diverse settings. He also gained national recognition through his guest appearance on BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live, where he vividly recounted surviving nine days on Mont Blanc.
Philip is a powerful addition to any event programme. His topics range from the survival mechanisms of deep-sea creatures, ancient marine monsters, and the biology of sharks, to the urgent consequences of global warming and the ecological importance of rainforests. With over 28 curated talks delivered without notes, he combines expertise with passion, leaving audiences both informed and inspired. Philip Price's presentations are more than just educational - they are a call to action in a world on the brink of environmental crisis.
