Mr. Nierenberg was instrumental in securing the SS France and converting it to the SS Norway, creating the first “Mega Cruise Ship”. A number of standards we enjoy today in the cruise industry are from the mind and creativity of Bruce Nierenberg, and some of the “Industry Firsts” include: the “out-island” concept, the first national Air/Sea program, and the first computerized reservations system.  Bruce has held numerous Senior Executive roles with a number of cruise lines like: Norwegian Caribbean Cruise Lines and NCL, he created the “Cruise-to-nowhere” concept with SeaEscape, Bruce was the Founder and Managing Partner of Premier Cruise Lines and the “Big Red Boat” at the very beginning, then he became the President & CEO from 1998 to 2000, and he was the CEO of the Delta Queen Steamboat Company, the largest American flag cruise operator.
