Ferry fiasco firm CMAL has been condemned for sending executives on a £1000-a-night Mediterranean conference cruise - billed as being 'entertaining and fun'.
Chief executive Kevin Hobbs and director of vessels Jim Anderson are lined up to head to Barcelona to check in on April 24 for the three-day 'junket' - with costs including Happy Hour and nightcaps. The cruise comes in at a cost between £1,800 and £2,400 per person for two nights while a shared cabin costs between £3,000 and £4,000.
The Shippax Ferry Conference will be on board Cruise Barcelona, one of the largest of its kind that cross the Mediterranean Sea. The conference is due to bring together between 450 and 500 delegates from more than 200 companies and between 50 and 60 ferry operators.
