Former Carnival Cruise Line director of international sales Luke Smith is up next in the Cruise Corner hotseat, as he reveals his ambitious plans to put Crystal front and centre of the luxury cruise sector

After two decades at Carnival House, which came to an end following the abrupt closure of Carnival Cruise Line’s UK office, Luke Smith finds himself at the beginning of a new adventure.

“It was a really great period of my life and I was lucky to work with people I consider family,” he says.

The new VP sales UK & EMEA for Crystal sits down with Cruise Corner co-host Jack Carter to discuss leadership, how agents can find value in the ultra-luxury market and his excitement to work for a cruise line with a start-up culture.

Our last episode saw Andy Harmer and Lynn Narraway join Carter to discuss CLIA Cruise Week, which launched earlier this week.
