Testimonials
After completing my training in cruise content creation, I landed a contract with a major cruise line. I develop themed itineraries, write blog articles, and manage their social media, showcasing the onboard experience from a unique and engaging perspective. I’ve increased their engagement by 30% and social media bookings by 15% in the last six months.
I mastered underwater photography and videography techniques, producing a mini-documentary about local marine life that was praised by instructors for its composition, narrative, and technical quality. This project allowed me to effectively apply my knowledge of lighting, editing, and storytelling in a challenging environment.
I increased engagement by 30% on a cruise company’s Instagram account by implementing a content strategy focused on authentic onboard experiences, using short videos with trending music and showcasing the diverse activities available, from gourmet dining to shore excursions. This led to a 15% increase in bookings for the following quarter.
I successfully increased engagement by 30% on a cruise company’s Instagram page by implementing a content strategy that combined high-quality photos and videos with real traveler stories, practical tips for planning a cruise, and interesting facts about the destinations. This resulted in a 15% increase in online bookings in the following quarter.
