ftlThis week, the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from  Ft. Lauderdale Broward County Convention Center, the site of the huge Seatrade Cruise Global Conference, the annual gathering of the cruise line industry.

Arnold Donald, President of Carnival Cruises, joins Peter to discuss the challenges of running the world’s largest cruise line in the wake of global travel fears. He’ll also talk about planning for the future and will provide a report on the number of new ships being built.

Carolyn Spencer Brown, Editor-in-Chief of Cruise Critic, discusses some of the new luxury yacht products and innovations in cruising.

Tara Russell, President of Fathom & Global Impact Lead of Carnival Corporation, talks about the new Fathom brand and how the line is incorporating voluntourism—and how their ship will be the first to cruise into Cuba on May 1, 2016.

USA Today’s Gene Sloan weighs in on the rising demand for capacity in both the United States and overseas. He also talks about how China wants to be a major player in the cruise industry and create a thriving cruise economy.

Anne Kalosh, U.S. Editor for Seatrade Cruise News, reports on the number of new ships that are being built, and the work to refurbish older ships rather than retire them. There’s all that and more as the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from the Seatrade Conference in Fort Lauderdale.
