Joanne Lucas
Cruise Specialist | CLIA Ambassador
Joannes travel background began 17 years ago whilst she was living in the USA. Based on the west coast in Seattle, she was able to experience and view a lot of cruise ships sailing in and out of Seattle and Vancouver over to Alaska as well as from Miami and Fort Lauderdale to the Caribbean. She enjoyed attending large conferences to learn as much as she could from the industry leaders from many different cruise lines. Back in Australia, Joanne loves sailing around the South Pacific and is excited to help her clients experience fantastic cruise holidays.
What is your favourite cruise destination you visited & why?
Alaska - there is no other place like it on earth. The scenery and the wildlife are beautiful and the cruise ships get so close to the glaciers.
What is your favourite cruise ship & why?
Celebrity Solstice - Joanne loved the light filled atrium, two storey library and solarium pool area. Such a relaxing and gorgeous ship.
Favourite cruise tip you give your clients
Plan your shore excursions ahead of time. Do your research so you don't miss out on what you really want to do in each port.
