NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - June 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Three years ago, Mark Knass founded the CruiseScoop group for cruise professionals and executives so they could all share the latest trends, developments, innovations, successes, news and marketing ideas of the cruise industry. As a cruise industry veteran, Knass' vision was to form a group on Linkedin where the members from all over could network with and learn from key cruise executives, successful cruise travel professionals and top travel agents.

Today, the CruiseScoop membership base exceeds 3,000 members consisting of over 600 travel agency owners, 525 top cruise industry executives and another 800 managers plus hundreds of seasoned cruise/travel professionals.
