Crescent Seas has appointed Jason Gelineau, founder and director of JAG Hospitality, as its official Brand Ambassador for Australia and New Zealand. Known for their maritime culture and adventurous spirit, Australia and New Zealand will be vital markets for Crescent Seas as the brand seeks to build a global community of pioneers and trendsetters who enjoy luxury living at sea.
The Crescent Seas Ambassador Program brings together an elite group of individuals who are prominent leaders in their respective fields: from long-distance cruising and international travel to luxury yachting and lifestyle. These exceptional individuals not only embody the spirit of Crescent Seas but also serve as trusted advisors to those exploring the possibility of ownership.
“Crescent Seas was created for a new generation of global citizens seeking more meaningful ways to live and travel. The Brand Ambassador Program is a powerful extension of that vision, connecting prospective owners with influential and trusted voices who can authentically speak about the Crescent Seas experience. Jason brings both credibility and connections in key markets as we accelerate toward our 2026 debut,” commented Thatcher Brown, CEO of Crescent Seas. “Crescent Seas is both a ship and a destination, and we see these markets as both a source of new connections and a long-standing cruise community that we deeply value.”
Crescent Seas combines the comforts of home with the luxury of a world-class ship. Owners will enjoy an all-inclusive lifestyle on board, with thoughtfully designed itineraries, refined cuisine, wellness and cultural enrichment programs, along with a vibrant international community, redefining what it means to live globally: not just visiting the world, but fully inhabiting it.
With over two decades of experience in international cruising, including 24 years working onboard ships and a proven track record as an industry consultant, Jason Gelineau brings unparalleled insight to the world of residential cruising. As part of the inaugural management team of The World of ResidenSea, the first residential cruise ship, he belongs to a select group with deep operational knowledge of luxury living at sea. Prior to founding Perth-based consultancy JAG Hospitality, Jason led guest experience development onboard Explora Journeys as Head of Product and Hotel Operations, helping to launch the first new luxury cruise line in over 30 years.
“This appointment feels like a full-circle moment in my career,” said Jason Gelineau, Crescent Seas Brand Ambassador for Australia and New Zealand. “Having helped launch The World more than two decades ago, I’ve seen firsthand the potential of this concept. Crescent Seas is redefining what it means to live globally and travel in luxury, and I’m excited to bring that vision to the Australian and New Zealand markets.”
With the growing population of high-net-worth individuals in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, and their strong interest in immersive travel experiences, Crescent Seas recognizes the strategic importance of these markets and the value of having such respected industry figures representing the brand. As part of their role, Ambassadors are empowered to develop business opportunities within their networks. They share their unique perspectives, organize exclusive events and experiences, and support potential buyers throughout their decision-making process. Furthermore, potential clients will be directed to Ambassadors based on their region or area of expertise, ensuring a more personalized and enriching interaction.
