The Spring/Summer 2023 issue of Cruise & Ferry Review explores how leaders across the passenger shipping industry have demonstrated innovation and invention, increasing business resilience and agility and advancing progress in areas such as diversity and sustainability.

One such leader is Carnival Corporation’s Josh Weinstein. In his first keynote interview for CFR, he shares why he is focusing on increasing inclusivity, advancing sustainability and finding new and exciting ways to enhance the guest experience. Another is Barbara Muckermann, who explains how teamwork, itinerary innovation, new ships and a guest-centric approach will drive Silversea Cruises’ continued success in our cover story.
