Royal Caribbean’s longtime CEO on the next big wave in cruising

One of the longest-serving CEOs in Corporate America is embarking on retirement, but not without imparting some wisdom to the next generation of leaders. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi talks on the Opening Bid Unfiltered podcast with former Royal Caribbean (RCL) CEO Richard Fain, who is out with a new book called ‘Delivering the WOW.' Fain served as the CEO of Royal Caribbean for 33 years, stepping aside in 2022. Fain helped grow Royal Caribbean into the world’s most valuable cruise line operator by building ever larger ships and doubling down on customer service. He also led the company through the COVID-19 pandemic, a historic time for the cruise industry that saw operations come to a sudden halt for an extended period. Fain shares his secrets to business success and reveals his predictions for the future of the cruise industry.
