Chris Austin, Seabourn’s svp global sales and marketing, and Terry Thornton, svp port operations, guest care and Carnival international for Carnival Cruise Line, have been named as new speakers for Cruise360 Australasia.

They will join Princess Cruises’ Jan Swartz and Azamara Club Cruises' Larry Pimentel at the fourth Cruise 360 Australasia to be held at Hyatt Regency Sydney on August 25-26.

CLIA Australasia md Joel Katz has also announced that delegates will have a choice of educational breakout sessions.

‘The workshops will cover topics integral to the success of cruise travel agents, such as marketing to millennial travellers, using social media to grow a business and leveraging personal branding,' Katz said.

He also announced that radio host and business commentator Ross Greenwood, who was a huge success last year, will return to host this year’s event.

It is being held over two days for the first time to give delegates the opportunity to inspect Pacific Explorer, the latest addition to P&O Cruises Australia’s fleet, which arrives at the Overseas Passenger Terminal on August 26.
