Working
on John Wayne’s former private yacht and serving cocktails as the sun
sets on the Pacific are a part of everyday life for the employees at
Hornblower Cruises and Events.
Hornblower is a 30-year-old
charter-yacht and dining-cruise company. While sailing on the serene
waters of Newport Harbor, the employees aim to ensure that guests enjoy
their food and drinks to the fullest.
Hornblower also aims
to protect the environment, and it encourages employees to help in the
effort through a Respect Our Planet program, which allows workers to
offer suggestions on ways to reduce waste or save money. Blow a horn
for that.
