| Still Standing a success

CRUISE Weekly’s sister publication Travel Daily held its Still Standing celebration last night, an occasion for the travel & cruise industry to clink glasses with each other for having survived through to the other side of the pandemic.

Held at Doltone House – Darling Island, the night was punctuated by speeches from Travel Daily’s Bruce and Jenny Piper, both of whom thanked the industry for its continued support through the most difficult time travel has ever faced.

Supported by a myriad of sponsors, such as cruise representatives Norwegian Cruise Line and Viking, the night was a roaring success, with attendees mingling with friends from before the pandemic, as well as those new to the industry.

Before the night was through, all attendees had taken the plunge at Viking’s photo booth, and had sampled the range of delicious hors d’oeuvr and paella.

Both Norwegian and Viking also handed out prizes, which saw two lucky travel advisors, as well as a winner on the supplier side, walk away with tickets on a cruise, and more.
