Happy Thanksgiving to our team, partners and friends across Canada!

Today, we're especially grateful for our team in Saint John, the partners we work alongside and the communities that welcome cruise guests so warmly each season.

Thank you for being part of what we do. Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🍂

Aquila’s Melanie Colpitts was in St. Maarten this week for "Driver Excellence" training with the Dutch St. Maarten Taxi Association.

For many cruise guests, a taxi driver is the first local they meet and the last one they say goodbye to, so that ride shapes how they remember the destination. More than 200 drivers took part and their energy and eagerness to find new ways to deliver excellent service to their guests was inspiring.

Thank you to Association President Maya Friday for her leadership in organising the training and to every driver who attended.

For more than 40 years, Beth Hatt has been helping shape cruise tourism excellence — from the ground up. 🚢

As founder and Co-Creator of the Aquila Center for Cruise Excellence, Beth helped transform Aquila into a Living Lab, where best practices in service, guest experience and destination readiness are tested in real-world operations. Her work has taken her across the Caribbean, Central and South America and beyond, working alongside destinations, tour operators and industry partners.

But perhaps one of Beth's greatest contributions is the people she has helped develop along the way. Through mentorship and leadership, she continues to support the next generation of tourism professionals while helping teams and destinations strengthen the guest experience.

Recognized as one of Canada's Top 100 Most Powerful Women, Beth brings more than four decades of experience — and an enduring commitment to helping the industry and its people succeed.

🎓 Growing Who We Are – and investing in the next generation
This is one of those Aquila moments that makes us smile.

Our Aquila Educational Awards were created to support the children of our full-time team members as they pursue post-secondary education – because we believe investing in people extends beyond the people who work with us every day.
This year, we're so happy to celebrate three recipients:

Ben Timmons receives his fourth Aquila Educational Award as he heads into his final year of Biochemistry at UNB, graduating next May.

Emma Timmons begins her second year at UNB Saint John, studying Biopsychology.

And Charlotte Colpitts starts an exciting new chapter, entering her first year in the Great Books program at St. Thomas University.

Each year, we ask recipients to tell us why the award matters to them. Their words say it better than we ever could:

"Aquila has brought so many wonderful opportunities and incredible role models into my life."

“Your continued support means a great deal to me, and it is truly making a difference in my education. With it I am able to focus on my goals and building a strong future for myself.”

"As my courses become more challenging, knowing I have this support means a lot. It helps take away from the financial stress of university and means I can focus on my coursework."

Sometimes Growing Who We Are means investing in our team. And sometimes it means investing in the generation coming behind them.

Congratulations Ben, Emma and Charlotte. We're very proud to be part of your journeys – and excited to see where they take you. ❤️

We’re ready to set sail into our exciting 2026 cruise season! ✨️🤩

Last week, our team gathered for our mid‑season kick‑off meeting to ensure everyone is aligned, prepared, and energized for what’s ahead. Our Aquilamazing tour guides, drivers, cruise managers, transport team, sales crew, and every single person involved are geared up to welcome a wonderfully busy season.

Tomorrow, we begin with the Norwegian Breakaway docking at the Marco Polo Cruise Terminal, and from there, we’ll have back‑to‑back ships most days all the way until November 5th.

We couldn’t be more excited to be at the pier greeting passengers and showcasing the beauty, history, and charm that our beloved Saint John City has to offer.

Here’s to an amazing season ahead! 🌊✨

A big thank you to Fundy Woods Campground & Cottages for letting our trolleys sleep over this weekend! The trolleys are running shuttles for the Sea Shanty Festival in St Martins all weekend. Still lots of great music to enjoy!
