News from Andy’s Desk!
Dear Travel Partners,
Hope everyone is adjusting to daylight savings time and have been able to convince the kiddos to wake up even though it is still dark outside! The additional hour of sunlight will be nice at the end of the day once we are well adjusted.
We are looking forward to seeing you at upcoming events this year, including CLIA Cruise360 being held April 18 – 24 at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center. Please check the “On the Road Again” section within the newsletter for additional events in which SNG will be present. Our next Webinar is scheduled for April 12th at 3 PM. Register here.
As the winter season nears closing, we are preparing for the openings of the ports in Seattle and Vancouver in April. Also in April, SNG is pleased to once again be able to provide service in Vancouver, Washington for the American Steamboat Company and in Portland, Oregon for American Cruise Line.
Be sure to look below for pictures from our 10 Year Anniversary celebration with NACTA.
We appreciate your partnership which has enabled SNG to accomplish many milestones over the last decade and we look forward to a bright future. Thank you for making it possible to achieve our motto of Delivering an Accessible World.
Keep Smilin’,
Andrew J. Garnett, CATA
President/CEO
