"A great story teller. He brought his histories to life. 10 out of 10!” Silversea.
“There are plenty of geologists and astronomers and self-help speakers. Keeney was different. He had real content and made his talks fascinating with his presence. He packed the theater everyday.” Oceania.
“He spoke to a packed house! Mr. Keeney is a highly energetic speaker with a passion for his audiences. He delivers a fast-paced, presentation using photos, videos, and audio clips. An exceptional presenter, capturing the interest of the attendees and invoking humor here and there. His knowledge of the subject matter was a 10/10 scale.”” Caroline E.

Recently given on Oceania’s Mariner (Transatlantic ) and the lead-off for the Food For Thought Lecture series. Keeney is author of the acclaimed book by the same title and presents engaging material from it. Earth at Night as Seen From Space is visual feast with the images of our cities at night as seen and photographed by our astronauts including a video segment that "flies" from New York to London to Italy and ends over Cairo -- all at night. Dozens of stunning images, including a where-are-we-now segment that audiences love. Engages people intellectually and fascinates them visually. A unique presentation from the author/expert on the subject.
