In this episode, Alessandro Inversini speaks with Luca Pronzati, Chief Digital and Technology Officer at MSC Cruises, about how technology is enhancing—not replacing—the human touch in cruises. From smart ships to AI-driven experiences, they explore how digital innovation can elevate service while preserving the emotional core of guest interactions, allowing crew members and customers to focus more on meaningful, personalized interactions.

In Season 3, we dive into the theme of ”High Tech for High Touch,” where leading experts and innovators discuss how to strike the perfect balance between technology and human interaction in hospitality and tourism. The season explores how leveraging technology can enhance, rather than replace, the essential human touch that drives success in the industry.
