Midweek Interview with Oceania Cruises’ Martine Nunes

This week, we dragged Oceania Cruises’ business development manager, Martine Nunes, away for a secret chat. Although that’s not to say we physically forced her.

The challenge for the industry is…

Demands, expectations, trends, the fast pace – today’s activity can, at times, already be history.

The things I like about my job…

And the frustrations are…

Kicking myself that I wasn’t.

Favourite airline?

Qantas for international flights; it’s great to hear an Aussie accent on the return flight home.

And my greatest strength is…

Positive people around me

If I won a $1 million lottery (aside from travelling), I would…

Like most, pay off a mortgage and set my kids up for a head start in the future.

If I was prime minister I would…

Insist long term planning and common sense is enforced – abolish all the toe stepping and make sure election promises are delivered– procrastination costs everyone!

If I could be someone else for one day I would be a…

My kids – relive the brilliance of boundless energy, the innocence and fun of being a child.

I’ve always wanted to travel to…

Eygpt.
