Demand for adventure travel is spiking, and cruise is well positioned to capitalise on this growth thanks to increasing interest from holidaymakers to bolster their sailings with pre- and post-stay extensions

A key driving force behind this surge is Titan Travel, one of the UK’s most exciting adventure operators. In the first instalment of our three part special with the brand, co-host Will Payne sits down with director of trade distribution, Shane Lewis-Riley, to discuss his plans to utilise his vast experience in the cruise sector to position Titan as the go-to pick for avid explorers in 2026.

The duo further discuss Lewis-Riley’s first year at the company, his recent trip to Kenya with Titan, and his advice for junior travel executives looking to grow their careers in cruise.

In the last episode of the Cruise Corner Podcast, the team behind the show sat down to reflect on their standout moments from 2025 and share what’s on the horizon. Co-hosts Will Payne and Jack Carter also welcomed new host Rashmi Narayan, who offered a sneak peek at her first episodes, coming soon.
