Hurtigruten APAC has added two team members to its Asia Pacific sales division, onboarding Cam McDonell as National Sales Manager and promoting Amelia Temby as Group Sales & Inside Sales Executive to shore up growth and success in the region.
The joint appointment announcement follows Hurtigruten’s ongoing strong performance in the APAC market with growing demand for its voyages and touring products.
Sydney-based McDonell has been appointed National Sales Manager, overseeing Queensland, New Zealand and specialised Online Travel Partners.
He joins Hurtigruten APAC with 14 years’ industry experience across adventure travel and expedition cruising, most recently as National Geographic Lindblad Expeditions ANZ Key Account Manager, along with a seven-year stint at G Adventures.
In his new role, McDonell will support Hurtigruten’s key partners, working with leadership teams and front-line advisors and bringing his passion for iconic heritage brands and iconic expedition companies.
Hurtigruten APAC Sales Director Andrew Eddy said McDonell’s expertise, experience and drive are welcomed assets to Hurtigruten’s Nordic and High Arctic cruise and tour portfolio.
Meanwhile, Amelia Temby has stepped into the newly created role of Groups Sales & Inside Sales Executive, following her continued commitment and contribution to the brand.
She joined the Hurtigruten APAC reservations team in 2023 and brings more than five years of frontline travel industry experience as a Flight Centre consultant.
Eddy said the exciting changes to the Hurtigruten APAC team are driven by ongoing sustainable and profitable growth – both locally and globally.
“We are delighted to see Amelia taking the next step in her career and to welcome Cam to the team. Amelia’s knowledge, combined with Cam’s energy and passion for the product, will play an important role in driving Hurtigruten’s growth as they team up with Kate Hudson and Rebecca Setchell, supporting the Australia and New Zealand market,” he said.
