The energy is still buzzing here at Gestlash after an incredibly productive and inspiring week at Seatrade Cruise Global in Miami (April 8th-10th)! Our team of six – co-founders Andre Peitz and Tobias Hanisch, along with Chantal Wicht, Karsten Täuber, Victoria Grüner, and Clara-Emilia Tenkhoff – dove headfirst into the heart of the cruise industry, forging valuable connections and uncovering exciting new opportunities.

Seatrade Cruise Global 2025 proved to be a pivotal event for Gestlash. From engaging in insightful discussions about the future of cruising to dedicating time for crucial internal planning, the week served to significantly strengthen our presence within this dynamic sector and lay a solid foundation for future growth. The opportunity to connect with so many inspiring individuals and organizations across the industry was truly fantastic. We’re already looking forward to building on the relationships we’ve cultivated!
But the connections didn’t stop when the exhibition doors closed for the day! Following a busy Tuesday, we were once again thrilled to co-host our annual evening event in partnership with our valued friends at @Lufthansa Industry Solutions. It’s always a highlight of the week for us, providing a wonderful opportunity to bring together so many of our esteemed customers and partners to celebrate the power of collaboration – both the long-standing ones and the exciting new ones we’re forging.
This year, the stunning @Nikki Beach Summerhouse provided the perfect backdrop for an evening filled with great company, delicious food, and refreshing drinks. The atmosphere was electric, and the conversations flowed as freely as the refreshments!
A heartfelt thank you to every one of you who joined us for this unforgettable celebration. Your continued support and collaboration are invaluable to us.
Seatrade Cruise Global 2025 was undoubtedly a success, leaving us energized and even more committed to driving innovation and growth within the cruise industry. We’re excited about the future and the opportunities that lie ahead!
