What does Freddie Mercury and the cruise industry have in common? Well, if you attended this year's CLIA Conference, you'd know the answer. It’s not unusual for a celebrity to make an appearance at a cruise event. But when that celebrity passed away in 1991, heads are bound to turn. Enter Jonny Peat, senior commercial manager – cruise at The Advantage Travel Partnership, who dazzled attendees when he arrived at Southampton’s Guildhall dressed in Freddie’s iconic outfit from the I Want to Break Free music video. Now, Peat joins the Cruise Corner podcast to discuss the story behind the stockings, as well as the consortium’s strong start to 2025 and its upcoming cruise conference onboard Sky Princess this October.
