Latest issue of Cruise Insight includes:
Carnival Corporation SVP Maritime Affairs Tom Strang has been working on ship safety and sustainability for more than the last 30 years, but it was in 1993 that cruise ships started to take over his working life.
For nearly 30 years, Executive Vice-President Maritime Harri Kulovaara has been designing cruise ships with that all-important “wow” factor for Royal Caribbean Group brands. Here he takes us through them – class by class.
From celebrating record profits and passenger numbers in 2019 to seeing the industry devastated by a pandemic in 2020 and on the brink of going under a year later – it was a turnaround that no-one had anticipated. Carnival’s Stein Kruse, though, had already lived through another unprecedented transformation of cruising’s fortunes.
In July 2007, Ann Sherry left the banking world to become Carnival Australia Chairman and CEO. After a difficult start, it proved a transformational appointment for the company and the Australian cruise market.
The new edition of Cruise Insight celebrates the magazine’s 30-year anniversary with an in-depth review of the last three extraordinary decades of the cruise industry, combining expert analysis with the memories of the people who were there to make the decisions which changed cruising forever.
