Travel Matters speaks to
Andy Stuart
President & CEO, Norwegian Cruise Line
Tell us about your career with NCL
I’ve been with Norwegian Cruise Line for more than 30 years and it’s been quite an adventure. I began in 1988 in Sales in our UK office when our offices were based in London and I have been privileged to play a role in the transformation that has taken place between 1988 and today. We’ve been an innovator in the cruise industry, launching first-ever concepts such as Freestyle cruising and introducing firsts, including the first private
island owned by a cruise company
and the first race track at sea. I am
also so proud that for the last several years during my tenure as CEO, I was part of the team that launched our most successful ship class in the company’s history, eliminated plastic straws from our entire fleet and most recently, announced the removal of single-use plastic berverage bottles, beginning with our 17th ship in the fleet, Norwegian Encore.
What have been the most significant changes that you have seen in the cruise industry?
The cruise industry is changing the way consumers vacation. Guests are looking for multi-sensory experiences and at Norwegian Cruise Line, we’re giving them something they can see, touch, feel and taste that rivals the very best experiences on land. Long gone are
the days of offering travellers a medley of show tunes, set dining times and average recreational activities. We’re providing our guests with Broadway- calibre entertainment such as “Kinky Boots” and “Footloose”; offering world-
class dining options, including Onda by Scarpetta, our culinary concept developed in partnership with LDV Hospitality; and bringing some of the most riveting experiences to the open seas including outdoor laser tag and virtual reality gaming.
What were the biggest challenges that you faced?
I’ve been CEO at NCL for five years and am proud that we challenged ourselves to be a more socially responsible corporate citizen. We’re constantly revisiting ways in which we can make our guest experience better and when we can do that and can also make
an impact to our environment, it’s
a win-win. We've eliminated plastic straws, have discontinued single-use plastic beverage bottles across our fleet and even partnered with the local communities of the ports we call to build better facilities that benefit us and the destinations we visit.
When you look back, what has made you most proud and why?
I am so proud of the people - everyone I have met along the way. Together, we have been able to build something special that will only get better by the continued hard work and efforts of our team members. The people are by far the legacy I leave behind at Norwegian Cruise Line.
How do you see the future for NCL?
Incredibly bright. Harry Sommer is one of the best. He’s smart, sharp and incredibly fast. He’s been in the business for nearly 30 years and has
spent a large part of his career with Frank Del Rio, our president and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. He has the best team in the cruise industry and I would expect nothing short of greatness from them all!
What is your favourite port of call?
I think Great Stirrup Cay, our private island in the Bahamas, has to be my favourite. It is completely unique, somewhere you can only go on a Norwegian ship and the investment
we have made is nothing short of extraordinary. The combination of spectacular beaches, crystal clear waters, excitement with ziplining, luxury with Silver Cove and more, makes this a truly magical day for our guests.
What was the best piece of business advice you were ever given?
Understand it is all about the people. Building and optimizing a team is the hardest thing we do and the one thing that can stand you apart from everyone else.
What advice would you give to any young person joining the travel business today?
Make it count! I was fortunate enough to have the best job in the world and was able to meet some incredible people that have left an impression on me and that I will never forget. Travel has a way of bringing people and perspectives together, so I would tell anyone entering the travel business today, to embrace change, come with an open mind and make every experience count.

Seattle named ‘Cruiser’s
Choice’ in Top 5 Destinations 2019
The Port of Seattle has won its second Cruise Critic Award - for Best North American Homeport 2019 - as well as being named Seattle ‘Cruiser’s Choice’ in their Top 5 Destinations of 2019.
Cruise Critic said that Seattle has proved indispensable as the perfect Pacific Northwest jump-off to the Last Frontier.
Passengers enjoy proximity to major attractions like Pike Place Market, along with Port Valet, a luggage transfer programme that provides seamless airport ticketing and baggage delivery – free of charge – for domestic flights.
“We thank Cruise Critic for their award for Best Homeport 2019. This is a huge honour for the Port of Seattle,” said Port of Seattle Commissioner Ryan Calkins. “We’ve worked hard each year to welcome cruise passengers to our wonderful city and to provide many opportunities to get them to stay a few extra days. With great public transportation options and our own Port Valet Programme, we will continue to innovate and offer the best hospitality possible. It is especially gratifying to be recognised for our efforts to make our homeport the most environmentally progressive in the nation.”
“The Port of Seattle is pleased to be recognised once again by Cruise Critics for offering outstanding port services to Alaska cruise guests,” says Ron Peck, Tourism Development Director for the Port. “We are also pleased to promote pre and post cruise visitor experiences; therefore, expanding the economic contribution of our international travellers to Seattle and all of the state of Washington.”
In 2020, the Port of Seattle will serve over 1.3 million passengers through its cruise ship terminals at Bell Street Cruise Terminal at Pier 66 and Smith Cove Cruise Terminal
at Terminal 91. The Port will host seven major cruise lines, including Carnival, Celebrity Cruises, Holland America Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Oceania Cruises and Royal Caribbean. The Port is expecting 225 cruise ship calls for the 2020 season.

THE COUNTDOWN IS ON -
LESS THAN 100 DAYS TO GO UNTIL CELEBRITY APEXSM MAKES HER HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT IN SOUTHAMPTON
ELEVATING MODERN LUXURY TO NEW HEIGHTS
Celebrity Cruises have begun the 100 day countdown to the highly- anticipated launch of Celebrity ApexSM. The first Celebrity Cruises ship to be launched in the UK in ten years, the stunning Celebrity ApexSM will make her debut sailing from Southampton, with a mini-season around Europe from 1st April 2020.
Setting a new standard of luxury and innovation at sea, Celebrity ApexSM
is hot on the heels of her sister-ship, the award winning Celebrity Edge, which in 2019 became one of TIME Magazine’s ‘World’s Greatest Places’. Hailed as a game-changer in the industry and credited for redefining luxury holidays at sea, Celebrity Edge’s brand new sister ship will continue this legacy when she sails out of UK shores for the first time
in 2020 – changing the way guests experience the world.
In three months Celebrity ApexSM will join Celebrity Edge as the second
in Celebrity Cruises’ Edge-Series of ships, with a season of incredible sailings around Europe - straight from Southampton! By stepping on board, guests will be transported to a number of sought after destinations, from the sun-soaked coasts of the Mediterranean to the dramatic fjords of Norway, there is an eclectic range of tempting 4-10 night itineraries to choose from. 2020 will see Celebrity ApexSM open up the world to guests in a way never seen before, making this an unmissable travel experience for those seeking both luxury and adventure alike.
Beginning her European mini-season with an Apex Preview Sailing on
1st April, Celebrity ApexSM will visit the vibrant cities of Amsterdam
and Bruges, before embarking on her Spain and Portugal inaugural sailing, enabling guests to immerse themselves in the rich culture and beauty of Bilbao, Lisbon, Porto and Paris.
For guests looking to discover Europe’s most luxurious cities,
a 10-night Northern European Capital Cities holiday allows guests to explore the most aspirational travel destinations, including Oslo, Copenhagen and one of ABTA’s
12 places to watch in 2020, the Netherlands. Departing 13th April 2020, prices start from £1,499 per person based on two people sharing an Oceanview Stateroom. The cruise includes an overnight stay in Oslo and departs from Southampton, calling at Oslo (Norway), Copenhagen (Denmark), Berlin (Warnemunde, Germany), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Bruges, (Zeebrugge, Belgium), Paris (Le Havre, France) before returning to Southampton. Like Celebrity Edge, she will be packed with a number of technological and design wonders that aim to reimagine cruising for the luxury traveller by connecting guests with the ocean like never before.
Amplifying the holiday experience, Celebrity ApexSM will host breath- taking accommodation brought to life by legendary designer Kelly Hoppen MBE, as well as the stunningly innovative ‘Magic Carpet’ –
a transformative venue that floats up and down the side of the ship.
Other features onboard Celebrity ApexSM include amazing open-air plunge pools with 270-degree views, an outdoor Rooftop Garden, 29 world-class culinary venues and bars and a stunning three-deck dining and immersive entertainment space, Eden.
Celebrity Cruises is not only revolutionising its ships but also the unforgettable experiences onboard. Continuing with its industry-first partnership with the American Ballet Theatre, Celebrity ApexSM will host the acclaimed dance company onboard her inaugural sailing on 5th April 2020, bringing the world’s best classical dance experience to sea.

....The well travelled bear cruises to...
It’s well known that this bear likes to cruise on board a beautiful ship, visiting glamorous ports of call. I chose to cruise on board Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas, on a 7-night voyage from New York to Port Canaveral, Coco Cay and Nassau in the Bahamas.
Sailing from and to New York is always a great start and end to any cruise. Once I was settled into my comfortable cabin, I went on deck to see the famed New York skyline from an amazing vantage point as we slipped away from our berth. We sailed under the Verrazzano- Narrows Bridge - wow - it was so close
- and headed into the Atlantic Ocean - destination Port Canaveral in Florida.
During our first full day was at sea, I wandered around the ship, enjoying the public areas as well as a superb lunch and held court, as you would expect, in the jacuzzi. Royal Caribbean are renowned for their on board entertainment and this cruise was
no exception - from quizzes to major production shows, there was something for everyone. Dinner on board a RCI
ship is always a great occasion and in the evening, we enjoyed a memorable welcome dinner.
Upon arrival in Port Canaveral, I took a taxi to the nearby Kennedy Space Centre. What a great way to spend
a day - the tour of the complex was outstanding and there are lots things
to see and do. After a day enjoying everything 'out of this world', I took the chance to stroll along Cocoa Beach before returning to the ship. What a 'beartastic' day it was!
Next stop Coco Cay - Royal Caribbean's stunning private Bahamian island experience - and simply idyllic. With everything taken care of, you can relax, sit back and enjoy your very own slice of paradise.
Glamorous Nassau was the next port of call. Playground of the rich and famous and the setting for the James Bond movies. We docked right in the centre and it’s only a short walk to the famous Straw Market and local shops. You can choose to visit nearby Paradise Island and the iconic Atlantis Hotel or do what I did and take a stroll to the nearby Cable Beach where I swam
in the ocean and enjoyed a cold beer in a great bar.
All too soon we were heading back to New York with two full days at sea, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere, delicious food, wonderful servIce and superb top class resort facilities that you always find on a Royal Caribbean International cruise.
TOP TIPS
the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal or Port Liberty in New Jersey. Your clients will appreciate you telling them how to get to and from
the port.
Why not suggest a Limousine transfer to/from the port/hotel for a memorable beginning or end to a holiday.
When sailing from ports like New York, Venice, or even Istanbul, passengers tend to crowd the front of the ship - better to go to the back decks which are always less crowded and you can still see everything.
Ports sell cruises so help your clients make the most of their time with advice on things to see and do, especially if you have been there yourself and can give that all important personal information.
Cruises to and from New
York can embark/disembark from three different places - Midtown on the Hudson River;

Unique voyages with Silversea Cruises
2020 is looking to be a very exciting year for Silversea with the arrival of two new ships: Silver Moon and Silver Origin.
Silver Origin debuts in July, Silversea’s first-ever destination- specific ship which will unlock deep travel experiences for guests in the Galapagos Islands. And Silver Moon, another brand new ship, arrives in August, showcasing culinary cultures of the world onboard and onshore thanks to Silversea’s new culinary concept, S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste).
Designed for the Galapagos, built around you
Designed with the environment
in mind, Silver Origin will combine Silversea’s local destination expertise with the cruise line’s trademark level of luxury to offer guests the ultimate destination experience.
The 100-passenger, all-suite Silver Origin will build on Silversea’s
accrued know-how in the Galapagos Islands to form deeper connections between guests and the destination. In addition to the ship’s pioneering design and guests’ unique shoreside activities – which will be led by Silversea’s Expedition Team – this immersive concept will see guests enjoy Ecuadorian culture on board, through insightful content, including daily briefings, lectures, videos, and scientific information; authentic local cuisine, prepared by expert Ecuadorian chefs; and various other luxurious enhancements. Offering the highest Zodiac-to-guest ratio in the region, at
1:12.5, Silver Origin will be a luxurious outpost from which guests will enjoy personalised experiences throughout the Galapagos Islands.
Silver Origin will offer two seven- night itineraries between Baltra and San Cristobal, allowing guests to explore Darwin’s “Living Laboratory
of Evolution,” where they might spot giant tortoises, colourful marine iguanas, comical Blue-footed Boobies, energetic sea lion pups and Galapagos Penguins. In 2020, two special extended voyages (11 and 12 days) are planned for the holiday season.
A new moon is coming
Embarking on her inaugural voyage on 6 August 2020, the 596-guest Silver Moon will echo the whispered elegance of the cruise line’s current flagship, Silver Muse, while bringing unprecedented enhancements and elements of innovation. Maintaining the small-ship intimacy and spacious all-suite accommodation that are the hallmarks of the Silversea experience, Silver Moon will unlock deep travel experiences for guests, as they enjoy Silversea’s industry-leading service.
Silversea’s new culinary programme, S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste), is set
to revolutionise culinary travel for the cruise line’s guests, when it launches aboard Silver Moon. Elevating the role of food as a means to travel deeper into
a destination, S.A.L.T. will showcase entire ecosystems around culinary cultures of the world through on-board and shore-based experiences with the S.A.L.T. Kitchen, S.A.L.T. Bar, S.A.L.T. Lab and S.A.L.T. shore excursions.
Silver Moon will spend her inaugural season in the Mediterranean before moving to Central and South America, where guests will complete an incredible circumnavigation of the continent on the Grand South America 2021, visiting 37 destinations in 20 countries between 7 January and 17 March 2021.
Whether exploring the Galapagos Islands is on your bucket list or you want to travel to well-known ports as well as less common smaller ports in ultra-luxury, a voyage with Silversea guarantees superlative service and a unique experience.

New masterclasses
from Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has launched new Gin Masterclasses for 2020, as part of its immersive onboard enrichment programme, offffering guests the chance to create their own
bespoke gin during
their cruise, with
guidance from
expert gin-makers,
Nigel and Debbie
Wright.
Upon his retirement,
with wife Debbie’s
support and
encouragement, Nigel Wright researched the gin-making process and spoke to some of the new breed of craft gin producers, after which he applied for, and was granted, the necessary licences for producing gins at home, in Summer 2018.
The first masterclass will take place on board the Balmoral during its 70-night ‘South American Exploration’ cruise, sailing this month, The classes will be limited to between six and eight guests and cost £25 per person, including introductions and tastings. Guests will get the chance to make up to six gins per session, using Fred. Olsen’s new state-of-the-art copper distilling equipment. Participants will also receive a 70cl bottle of their own bespoke hand- crafted gin to take home with them.
There will be over 50 different botanicals to choose from – the flavours that go to characterise a gin – all of which have been researched and documented by Debbie. A number of the botanicals have been specially-selected to marry with the destinations that guests will be visiting on the South American itinerary.

CRUISING
Port of Call:
KEY WEST : FLORIDA
By ANDREA PELLICCI
Many cruise ships setting sail out of Miami and Fort Lauderdale heading to the Caribbean, will include a port of call at Key West, Florida.
As the southernmost point in the continental United States, getting ashore is easy as most cruise ships dock at Pier B in the Port of Key West, located in the heart of Old Town or at Navy Pier, just outside of town. I travelled to Key West as part of a Western Caribbean itinerary on board Celebrity Cruises’ newest ship, Celebrity Edge and although I have visited Key West many times, it never fails to deliver.
First stop - Mallory Square - the hub of Key West and home
to a variety of shops, museums, restaurants, bars and live entertainment. If you are lucky enough to be there later on in the day, the iconic sunset celebration, held nightly, is not to be missed and even includes the bagpipes! The town is quite compact but for a comfortable way to get around, visitors can jump on the hop-on hop-off Conch Train Tour which passes all of Key West’s main attractions with a commentary by an informative guide. Alternatively, there is also the Old Town Trolley tour with 12 different stops.
One of Key West’s most famous residents was the novelist Ernest Hemingway and you can hop off at The Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum on Whitehead Street. Nestled in the heart of Old Town, you can visit the rooms and gardens of this unique property where the author lived and wrote for more than ten years. You can also marvel at the 40 plus cats that live there! Tours cost $15 for adults, $6 for children and under 5s are free.
You may also want to stop off at the Audubon House & Tropical Gardens. This beautiful mansion was built by seafarer Captain John Huling Geiger in the 1840s as his family home - it will transport you back to the maritime days of shipwrecks and pirates. Admission costs $14 for adults and $5 for children.
If nature is more your thing, one must see attraction is the Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservatory on Duval Street. Here you can walk among hundreds
of living butterflies and vibrant colourful birds - simply mesmerising.
One of the best things about Key West is its casual, laid-back, relaxed pace and you
can always find
somewhere to have
a drink and listen to music. One pit stop to try is the famous Sloppy Joes, founded in 1933 and a favourite haunt of Ernest Hemingway. Offering food and drink, the bar also has a large stage for live bands.
For an outdoor setting, the Hog’s Breath Saloon has been a popular bar with locals and visitors for nearly 25 years and offers daily live entertainment with local and national bands as well as a raw bar.
However, if you are after a sea view, there is no better place than Sunset Pier, near Mallory Square. Located right on the edge of the water, you can sit here all day and watch the boats sail by, as you sip a frozen cocktail and listen to live music - and it’s only a short walk back to the ship!

ABTA’s Travel Trends
ABTA’s 12 destinations to watch out for in 2020 includes less visited countries as well regions celebrating significant anniversaries.
Georgia, Grenada, The Netherlands, Singapore and Uruguay all offer a diverse range of experiences and the report also features lesser-known areas in favourite holiday destinations, including Basilicata in Southern Italy and the historic cities and towns close to Madrid.
Chicago along with Lake Michigan is also on the list as well as Morocco, Namibia, South Korea and Vienna.
Other research from ABTA reveals that people are increasingly incorporating wellness into their holiday, with one in three (34%) people planning to take part in activities focussed on improving their wellbeing such as yoga, meditation, spa and holistic treatments.
Holidaymakers plan to spend more time participating in a combination of wellness activities – with the most time being spent avoiding technology such as smartphones, laptops and tablets. Top activities include yoga, pilates and nature hikes, followed by spa treatments and meditation. The research suggests that over two million UK holidaymakers are planning to take a wellness trip in the next 12 months and by 2022, it’s predicted that 1.2 billion wellness trips will be taken each year globally.
