Ryan brings more than 25 years’ travel industry experience to his new role, including more than a decade with Thomas Cook and a spell with Classic Travel Worldchoice.
He most recently served as Celebrity’s regional sales manager for the south east, hosting a number of ship visits for agents in Southampton ahead of the launch of Celebrity Beyond.
Stuart Pearce, Azamara head of UK trade sales, said Ryan’s appointment would further Azamara’s relationship with the UK and Ireland’s network of independent agents and consortia, "many of whom he already has a close relationship with”.
