Pile is predicting 2023 and 2024 will be record years for the cruise line.

“When you’re walking past and you spot a Picasso… They’re not fakes, they’re the real deal,” she said.

“We call it the most unrivalled space at sea…and we have the highest staff to guest ratio nearly a one on one to staff guest ratio.”

Cruises from Sydney to Bali and Tokyo are still available.
