Two of Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Oceania Cruises’ executive leadership team will join The Cruise Corner podcast next week
Senior vice president of international and consumer sales, Steve Odell, and vice president of UK and Ireland sales, Paul Beale, sit down with podcast co-host and editor of Cruise Trade News, Will Payne, to discuss the launch of Seven Seas Prestige next year.
The vessel, which marks the debut of the line’s new Prestige class, will also introduce the Skyview Regent Suite, a two-level ultra-luxury accommodation available from £20,000 per night.
The trio also discusses the burgeoning luxury market and how agents can tap into high net-worth clients, the opportunity presented by luxury hotel brands entering the cruise industry and the importance of events to the sector.
Furthermore, Beale shares what it was like to drive an Aston Martin at the CLIA Conference and Odell offers his tips and advice to fledgling cruise professionals looking to forge a career in cruise.
You can listen to the podcast from Tuesday (1 July) on Cruise Trade News, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music or Deezer, as well as the Cruise Trade News YouTube page.
