Ahead of International Women’s Day (8 March), the line said it had achieved one-third female representation across its bridge officers. This compares to an industry standard of just 2% according to figures issued by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) show.
To mark IWD, the line has changed its global “X” logo to an “XX” edition on its social media channels to represent the female chromosome and acknowledge all those who identify as women.
Celebrity’s new ship Beyond, meanwhile, will become the first cruise ship to have its inaugural sailing captained by a woman, Captain Kate McCue.
