“We’re putting some exciting plans in place for 2027 with a suite of products designed to help cruise lines get closer to the agents that will make a real difference to their business using our unique profiled audience," he said.
“James will be an integral part of our new-look core commercial team, alongside Head of Partnerships Justin Berman and Partnerships Manager Sydnie Hadley-Clarke, as we continue to deliver on our mission for smarter better fairer travel.”
