Norwegian Cruise Line has appointed its first Filipino Staff Captain! This historic milestone not only showcases the incredible talent within our ranks but also highlights the invaluable contributions of Filipino seafarers to the maritime industry. Please join me in congratulating Capt. Ryan James Dumanig Martinez, who joined the Norwegian Gem as Staff Captain on September 6, 2024. Capt. Ryan’s journey is truly inspiring; he started his career with NCL as a Deckboy on December 8, 1998.
His dedication and hard work have led him to this remarkable achievement. Let’s celebrate this significant moment and continue to support each other as we strive for excellence!
