Seatrade Cruise Review highlights women wearing the stripes

#STCGlobal official publications

Seatrade Cruise Review is the event's official publication, while Seatrade Cruise News is the official online publication.

Slowly but surely, more women are wearing the stripes at sea, in jobs from captain to engineer. Lines like Celebrity Cruises stand out for actively recruiting and developing women in seafaring roles but across the industry, their numbers are growing as more females set their sights on seafaring careers.

What cruise lines are doing to foster greater diversity on board and why this is important, the challenges faced and what women bring to their jobs are all examined in a four-page report, 'Women wear the stripes,' with a cover photo of Holland America Line Second Engineer Lieke Dekker.

Seafarer snapshots, from captains to cadets

Plus, readers can download snapshots of women seafarers across the industry for an up-close and personal look at their backgrounds, views on women at sea, challenges and aspirations.

They include Capt. Kate McCue of Celebrity Cruises, Capt. Belinda Bennett of Windstar Cruises, Chief Officer Mary Dailey of Disney Cruise Line; First Officer/Training Officer Alia Oueslati, Third Officers Alexandra Busuloc and Maria Busuloc and Third Engineers Giorgia Anglieri and Irenemaria Sallemi, all of Carnival Cruise Line; Second Officer Kerry Ann Wright of Princess Cruises; Third Officer Martje Bos of Holland America Line; and Deck Cadet Elizabeth Marami of MSC Cruises.
