The Autumn/Winter 2018 issue of International Cruise & Ferry Review opens with a special report showcasing how Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.’s dedication to innovation has helped it to transform the concept of cruising over the past 50 years. Meanwhile, our cover story celebrates the 30th anniversary of UK-based interior design firm SMC Design by looking at the secrets behind its success.

Our Cruise Business section profiles executives such as The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s Doug Prothero, Carnival Cruise Line’s Christine Duffy, CLIA’s Cindy D'Aoust, MSC Cruises' Gianni Onorato, Norwegian Cruise Line's Andy Stuart, Hurtigruten’s William Harber, Tauk’s Katharine Bonner and many more. Ultramar’s German Orozco, Archipelago Philippine Ferries' Mary Ann Pastrana and P&O Ferries’ Henrik Pedersen are just a few of the ferry executives profiled in this issue. Mike Corrigan, Mike Grainger and Johan Roos also provide perspectives on behalf of Interferry, which sponsors the Ferry Business section.

Elsewhere in the magazine, we outline some of the latest updates from across the passenger shipping industry in our Marketwatch section, highlight new environmentally friendly technologies in our annual Green List, and highlight some of the biggest newbuild orders in our cruise and ferry order books.

Other features and reports explore everything from safety at sea, to providing five-star port services, creating winning food and beverage strategies, maritime communications, port updates and much more.
