With Norwegian Viva about to debut in Europe and Norwegian Cruise Line set to return to cruising in Asia, the cruise line has assembled a dream team to help its travel partners set sail for success.
“We’re thrilled to announce these three new appointments at such an exciting time for Norwegian Cruise Line,” Damian Borg, NCL Director of Sales for Australia and New Zealand says.
“Our growing team is ready to hit the ground running to help our valued travel partners be successful.”
So let’s meet the trio that’s about to rock the boat (in a good way, of course).
With NCL’s Senior Sales Manager AUNZ, Angela Middleton at the helm, let’s dive into the details:
Lara Anderson
Joining the NCL crew as the Business Development Manager for Victoria and Tasmania is the one and only Lara Anderson. With a solid 25 years of travel experience under her captain’s hat, Lara is a true maven of the high seas. Previously, she served as the National BDM for Creative Cruising and made waves in the Helloworld and Travel Counsellors retail network. And get this: Lara has sailed a staggering 50 times with her family!
Sheena Smith
Next up, we have the fabulous Sheena Smith, ready to make a splash as the Business Development Specialist in Victoria. Sheena brings a cool 15 years of travel industry expertise to the table. And her career has seen her rocking it as a Flight Centre consultant and flexing her skills as a BDM with Contiki, Trafalgar, and APT. Her latest adventure took her to Minc Marketing, where she expanded her skillset like a true globetrotting pro.
Samantha Morgan
Last but certainly not least, Samantha Morgan is stepping up her game from the sales support team to become a Business Development Specialist. Samantha is all set to boost NCL’s presence in NSW/ACT, partnering with Business Development Manager Chris Catanzariti. She’ll be turning heads and winning hearts among Flight Centre and home-based agents in NSW/ACT. She’ll also be representing NCL to all agents in the wonderful land of Western Australia.
Not to mention, Lara, Sheena and Samantha will all report to NCL’s Senior Sales Manager AUNZ, Angela Middleton too!
“With a dedicated trade team of 11 – including field sales and sales support – along with our continued commitment to providing a local contact centre, we can’t wait to continue to build our trade engagement strategies and future success in this market,” Borg says.
