The line’s vice president of international sales, Shane Riley, announced the plans to grow the brand’s sales team onboard Valiant Lady on Saturday (8 October) during The Advantage Travel Partnership’s Back on the Water 2022 cruise conference.

"We want to use this drive as a way to bring talent back to the industry, those people who have moved away from travel, as they are the experts," he explained.

"We will also be targeting people who currently work in the industry but may want a new challenge elsewhere or to grow into a different role. It’s all about retaining that crucial talent we have and bringing some back that was lost in the pandemic."
