Senior Assistant Cruise Director Steve Gayda
Steve was born on April Fools’ Day in Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada, best known for being the Canadian home of the Hershey’s Chocolate Factory. He grew up in the Toronto and Ottawa areas and after graduating college with a degree in Tourism & Business, immediately moved back to Toronto and began working for Encore Cruises as an Inside Sales Representative. This gave Steve his first taste of the cruise industry. He was responsible for inside sales duties for Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, as well as national brochure distribution and convention planning. While at Encore Cruises, Steve represented thirteen of the world’s finest cruise lines, including Cunard, Seabourn, and Holland America Line. He spent a great deal of time working with Holland America Line, including seminars and ship visits in Fort Lauderdale, and also sailing on the ms Amsterdam in New York City just prior to her official christening in late 2001. After almost three years behind a desk, Steve began working onboard for Holland America Line in late 2002. He has had the pleasure of working on seven ships in the fleet, and has held the position of Cruise Director on the ms Amsterdam and ms Oosterdam, and will continue in that capacity this summer on the ms Zuiderdam and ms Westerdam. Steve feels incredibly honored to have been selected for his second Grand World Voyage in 2006, and has enjoyed sharing a world of memories with all of you.
