YESTERDAY members of the
Sydney Skal Club enjoyed an
intimate presentation from Sarina
Bratton, Australia’s ‘First Lady of
Cruising’ who was the keynote
speaker at the group’s monthly
meeting at the newly upgraded
Four Points by Sheraton Hotel.
Bratton spoke about her
extensive career in cruising,
which saw her lead Cunard’s
operations in Australasia and
build the business 100-fold –
before “leaping off the career
precipice” to found Norwegian
Capricorn Line.
After the closure of that joint
venture operation, Bratton
developed Orion Expedition
Cruises, eventually departing
the business when it was sold to
Lindblad Expeditions.
The latest phase in the saga has
seen her closely involved with
the development of Ponant, as
chairman of the French cruise
line’s operations in Asia-Pacific
as well as a special adviser to the
company’s board.
