Heading the company is Managing Director Julieanne Yee. Having started her career in the tourism and cruise industries in 2003, Yee has held management positions with Star Cruises and Royal Caribbean and most recently was regional director of Asia for Intercruises Shoreside & Port Services from 2018-2021.
