What does it take to maintain a successful career in travel for nearly 40 years? For AmaWaterways director of sales UK and Europe Andrea Stafford, a can-do attitude, an eagerness to learn and enough energy to sustain multiple late nights and early mornings. In this week's episode of the Cruise Corner Podcast, Stafford chats with co-host Will Payne about her glittering four-decade tenure in travel, which started in 1986 with Lunn Polly (now known as TUI). Payne and Stafford also discuss the imminent launch of AmaWaterways' AmaSofia on the Danube and the Rhine and AmaMaya on the Mekong, as well as Stafford's highlights of 2025 and her predictions for the cruise sector in 2026.
