Norwegian Cruise Line supports Cruiseabout for annual Brisbane conference
Edited by Travel Weekly


Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) took part in Cruiseabout’s annual conference at the Flight Centre Head Office in Brisbane last Saturday.

The event was attended by 37 agents from across the nation. NCL and Visit Seattle were the key supporters of the event, partnering to showcase Seattle, both as a premier destination and to highlight the range of sailings NCL offers from this port.

NCL departs from Seattle between April and October with a choice of ships including Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Encore, and recently refreshed Norwegian Joy. A three-day/two-night pre-cruise tour is also available in Seattle, which includes an exploration of Seattle’s highlights, hotel accommodation and transfers.

Pictured at the conference are:

Craig McLaurin – Business Development Manager QLD/Northern NSW/NT, Norwegian Cruise Line

Brad Kennedy – Cruiseabout general manager

Kelly Neri – Cruiseabout head of operations

Andrea Burgess – Cruiseabout captain of marketing

Brooke Rand – Cruiseabout head of Product

Amanda McCoy – Visit Seattle

Cruiseabout agents learning more about Seattle and the range of NCL cruises departing from the city. Looking quite dapper in their captains hats too!
