A-Rosa’s Emma Rodgers joins Ambassador Cruise Line
Ambassador Cruise Line has appointed former A-Rosa River Cruises regional sales manager Emma Rodgers as its new divisional sales manager for the north
Rodgers will join the business on 11 November 2024 and replaces Karen Cameron, who was promoted to the role of deputy head of trade earlier this year and has been fulfilling both functions since.
Following a handover period with Cameron, Rodgers will oversee trade business in the north of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, reporting into head of distribution, Nicola Harper, and working alongside Louise Tansey, divisional sales manager for the south and Wales.
Rodgers brings more than 20 years of experience in the travel and cruise industry to Ambassador, with a track record in driving revenue growth and developing strategic partnerships.
Prior to A-Rosa, Rodgers held positions as regional sales manager for Classic Collection Holidays, recruitment and training manager for Personal Holiday Advisors Leeds and key account manager for Riviera Travel.
With expertise in sales strategy, account management and trade relationships, she will work to maintain and enhance Ambassador’s commercial relationships across the north while also working to develop new partnerships with agents as the brand continues to grow.
“I am delighted to welcome Emma to Ambassador Cruise Line,” said Harper. “Emma is well-regarded in the industry and, with a wealth of experience and strong connections across the north of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, she will be instrumental in supporting our trade partners and driving forward our ambitious goals.
“The arrival of someone of Emma’s calibre illustrates just how highly we value our agent partners, and we are fully committed to supporting our trade partners with the knowledge and resources they need to succeed.”
Rodgers added: “It’s a fantastic time to be part of this growing company, and I look forward to working closely with our trade partners across the north, Scotland, and Northern Ireland to support them as we continue to elevate the Ambassador brand.”
