You may have noticed there’s something slightly different about this issue of Cruise Trade News. While you’d be forgiven for assuming the pink hue adorning the cover and our heart-speckled masthead was our empassioned tribute to Valentine’s Day (14 February, in case you’d forgotten), we at CTN towers simply aren’t that lovey-dovey. What we are passionate about, however, is finding new and creative ways to champion our industry and celebrate the trailblazers that are taking the sector to new heights. So, when we had the idea to launch our first-ever takeover issue, we couldn’t think of anyone better to partner with than the ‘Love Boat’ brand itself, Princess Cruises.
