CEOs from some of the world’s largest cruise companies will participate in the State of Industry address at the Cruise Shipping Miami conference in the US this March.
Held from 16-19 March, the event will open with a plenary session moderated by Richard Quest, journalist, anchor and report at CNN.
The State of the Industry panel includes Arnold Donald, president and CEO of Carnival Corporation & plc; Richard Fain, chairman and CEO of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.; Frank Del Rio, president and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.; and Pierfrancesco Vago, executive chairman of MSC Cruises and chairman of CLIA Europe.
“Recently, we have seen significant changes in the cruise industry, with brand consolidations and new faces at the C-suite level,” said Christopher Dauer, director of UBM Connect’s Cruise Events Portfolio. “These four executives will provide a top-level overview of where the global cruise industry is today and what they foresee going forward.”
Adam Goldstein, chairman of the Cruise Lines International Association, and president and CEO of Royal Caribbean, will provide a statistical overview of the cruise industry prior to the State of the Industry address.
