Mystic Cruises, part of the MysticInvest Holding group, participated in Seatrade Europe 2025 in Hamburg, one of the most prestigious events in the global cruise industry.
The event brought together industry leaders and experts to discuss the future of the cruise sector and the practices required to ensure sustainable and innovative growth. Our CEO, Ferdinand Strohmeier, joined the opening panel “State of the European Cruise Industry: Future Forward”, which set the tone for the event by exploring the strategic outlook for the European market and the concrete steps cruise lines are taking to turn strategy into action. The discussion highlighted the challenges and opportunities for maintaining the industry competitive, resilient, and relevant in an ever-evolving global context.
Mystic Cruises’ presence at this event underscores the importance of actively participating in the key conversations shaping the future of the industry, staying at the forefront of best practices in innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence.
During the same occasion, our sister company, Atlas Ocean Voyages, also part of MysticInvest group, was recognized by being included in the Roll of Honour in the Innovative Shorex of the Year category at the Seatrade Cruise Awards. While not winning the main award, this nomination represents an international acknowledgment of the group’s ability to deliver authentic, sustainable, and distinctive experiences.
David Sagrista, Senior Director of Operations at Mystic Cruises, emphasized the significance of this recognition: “This acknowledgment is a tribute not only to an exceptional shore excursion but, above all, to the extraordinary people who made it possible. Our teams worked with passion and precision to create an immersive, authentic, and responsible experience. Being part of the Roll of Honour is an honor that demonstrates that innovation in tourism is built on collaboration, sustainability, and heart.”
Through our participation in Seatrade Europe 2025 and the achievements within the MysticInvest Holding group, we reaffirm our commitment to actively shaping the future of the cruise industry, promoting more sustainable, meaningful, and high-value travel experiences for our guests and partners.
