CLEAN Cruising General Manager & Director Dan Russell (pictured) has been named Cruise Lines International Association’s (CLIA) ‘Cruise Champion’ for 2021-22.
The award was announced by CLIA at yesterday’s Cruise360 conference in Sydney.
Russell has been celebrated for his role in supporting industry calls for a resumption of cruise operations in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic.
CLIA’s local Managing Director Joel Katz said Russell has been recognised for working shoulder-to-shoulder with the Association, as well as its members and fellow advocates, to help secure a pathway to resumption for the Australian cruise industry.
“Dan’s efforts supported and inspired so many others to help secure a way forward for cruising in our region,” Katz said.
CLIA’s Cruise Champion Award was created in 2019 to acknowledge the evolving role of travel advisors and the increasing part they play as ambassadors for the cruise industry.
The Association’s annual Cruise Industry Awards will return for the first time in three years in Mar, with a gala event to be held at Big Top Sydney.
