Tanya Leyva started her journey with Royal Caribbean with a fond memory from childhood; she recalled, “My first cruise was when I was seven on Royal Caribbean International. It was always my favorite cruise line.” This early experience set the stage for her eventual career choice, leading her to intern and work full-time with the company.
Tanya is a Senior Account Executive responsible for onboard branding and communications, and her work directly impacts the guests’ experience during their cruises. She ensures that all areas around the ship have consistent signage and marketing.
The company culture and the people she works with deepen her connection to the company. “I am proud to be a part of this organization because I love the people I work with,” she said, emphasizing the supportive and family-like atmosphere.
A standout project for her was translating onboard materials into Spanish for a ship’s immersive experience through Panama and Colombia. “It was a huge project, and I finally got to deliver it. I felt so good, and the crew was so grateful,” she shared, highlighting a moment of pride and accomplishment.

From her start as an intern to her current role, she’s navigated various departments, learning and contributing significantly along the way. “From working in the social care team, I learned how to engage with our customers and that’s what I took with me when I moved into marketing,” she explains, illustrating her ability to adapt and grow.
She sums it up simply by reflecting on her time with the company: “This place just feels like home.” Her story is a testament to finding a career path that aligns with one’s passion and growing within a company that values its people and their contributions.
