Bruce is an Amazing ! He effortlessly juggles multiple ships renovations and new ship launches while simultaneously managing large, highly customized deliveries and the minutest details for the discerning traveller. His attention to detail is extraordinary! I am honored to work with Bruce for nearly 20 years, from Clipper to Quark and now at Lindblad.
