Meet our guests
Ann Peacock, General Manager – Community and Charity, Crown Resorts

Glen Moroney, Founder of Scenic
The boy from Newcastle, who started out running a humble bus tour company around parts of Australia. The company grew bigger and bigger and Glen is now the proud founder of Scenic Tours – world leaders in river cruising. Glen’s wife and design partner, Karen Moroney, is the driving force behind the ships’ stylish interiors and I’m so proud when I go overseas and see the level of luxury Scenic provides. This boy from OZ created all of this and we travellers are the happy recipients of his vision.
