Aurora Expeditions has appointed Megan Peterie as Trade Marketing Manager for Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, reinforcing its focus on trade partnerships and global growth across key expedition cruise markets.
Peterie joins the Australian-owned expedition operator as the company focuses on trade engagement and commercial performance across international markets.
She brings a well-rounded background across marketing, PR, events and trade with experience from both cruise and broader travel sectors.
Peterie’s career reflects a strong grounding in the cruise sector, most notably through her time with Silversea Cruises, where she worked across marketing, PR, events and trade.
Her sales experience also extends to Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, where she supported both Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Oceania Cruises.
Most recently, she was the Marketing Manager at FCM Meetings & Events within Flight Centre Travel Group, working closely with sales teams, managing end-to-end campaigns and contributing to growth across a global business environment.
In her new role, Peterie will focus on delivering trade marketing initiatives across APAC and EMEA with an emphasis on partner engagement and commercial outcomes to ensure Aurora Expeditions remains front-of-mind in a competitive expedition cruise landscape.
Aurora Expeditions Chief Marketing Officer Katie Malone said: “Megan brings a strong understanding of the travel landscape and how to effectively engage the trade across multiple markets.”
“Her experience across both cruise and global travel environments will be instrumental as we continue to strengthen our trade partnerships and deliver more integrated, commercially focused campaigns across APAC and EMEA.”
Commenting on her new role on LinkedIn, Sydney-based Peterie said she was looking forward to what’s ahead.
“It feels pretty special to be back in the cruise industry with a company I’ve long admired. Aurora’s values and product offering are things I’ve genuinely been passionate about for years, so it already feels like a great fit,” she said.
