When it comes to women working in the cruise industry, they are in the minority – with women accounting for fewer than 2% of the mariners employed worldwide. Lauren Vaitkus is one of only two female cruise directors working for Celebrity Cruises who are leading the way in taking action to transform the numbers of women working in the industry. Lauren is an enthusiastic and dedicated leader, with responsibility for entertaining three thousand guests onboard a 122,000 tonne cruise ship plus a department of seventy entertainment staff who are charged with delivering a world class experience to guests every day.

Lauren explains in the Access to Inspiration podcast how she progressed her career initially working in retail and hospitality management, but always with a long-term aim to attain the high profile and demanding role of Cruise Director.
