Carnival Cruise Lines bdm Lance Dye has been a first-hand witness to the explosive growth of cruising as a holiday option in the Australian market.
Last week, Dye chalked up ten years with the Carnival Australia head office, a milestone marked with a special certificate.
A decade earlier upon the start of his employment with the firm, Dye had just a single ship sailing full time from Australia to shout about – P&O Cruises’ Pacific Sky.
Insatiable demand from Aussies has seen this steadily increase to now number seven ships based in Australia year-round, with the number only set to climb further.
In that time, Dye himself has also ascended the ranks to his current role as the line’s business development manager for NSW, ACT and New Zealand.
Dye is also the national account manager for Helloworld Australia, acting as its crucial link to cruising.
“The past 10 years with Carnival Australia has gone by so quickly, which I put down to working with the best team both shore side and seaside,” Dye commented.
