Scott Kerr is joined by Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, president and CEO of luxury cruise line Celebrity Cruises to discuss the global restart of the cruise industry after over a year at bay under a Covid cloud.

She also discusses why Celebrity Cruises positions itself as a "relaxed luxury" brand for the culturally curious, how its getting affluent millennials to cruise, creating luxury at scale, and how its new design-focused Celebrity Edge ship is changing the luxury cruise game.
