Who helps bring an expedition cruise experience together? Meet Samantha Deer, Onboard Manager aboard Aurora Expeditions’ Sylvia Earle. As part of my expedition team interview series, I asked her four questions: 🎤 What’s your name?🎤 What do you do onboard?🎤 What do you love most about your job?🎤 Why should someone take an expedition cruise? Guests see the zodiac landings, wildlife encounters, and incredible destinations. What they don’t always see is the person managing the day-to-day onboard operation behind the scenes to help make those experiences seamless. The best expedition cruises feel effortless. That’s because talented people like Samantha are coordinating countless details every day so guests can focus on exploration, learning, and adventure. And while the Expedition Leader guides the expedition program and activities, Samantha helps ensure everything onboard runs smoothly. One thing I’ve learned on this voyage through Iceland: expedition cruising isn’t just about where you go. It’s about the remarkable people who help make the experience memorable. Meet Samantha. ❤️ #AuroraExpeditions #SylviaEarle #ExpeditionCruise #OnboardManager #AdventureTravel #Iceland #AskSheila #ACTAImmersiveExpeditionCruise #ReturnOnLife @ACTACanada @AuroraExpeditions @VirtuosoTraveler
