Tell me a little about the your company’s excursions.
The Desert Belle offers live narration
cruises all year long, as well as live
music cruises on the weekends featuring local artists. We also have many
specialty cruises throughout the year
such as beer and wine tastings, holiday
cruises and extended canyon cruises.
What are some of the custom cruises
you offer for groups?
The Desert Belle is very popular for
private charters. We have groups
come from all over for weddings,
birthdays, holiday parties, corporate
events and more.
How long have you been with the
company, and how did you get to
where you are today?
I have been with the Desert Belle for two
and a half years now. I started working
part-time as a crew member right after
college. A year later, I took over as creative director handling all design work,
the website and social media platforms.
Then after two years I was offered the
job as director of sales and marketing.
Is there anything new coming up that
you’d like to share with NTA tour
operators?
We were on track to have over 50,000
passengers cruise with us in the year
of 2016. That is the most in Desert
Belle history!
What destination is at the top of your
personal travel list?
I have always wanted to travel to
