Travelbag, specialists in tailormade holidays and cruises to destinations worldwide, has announced the appointment of Anna Perrott as Head of Cruise. The dnata-owned brand has reported strong cruise sales for the 2018-2019 season. Perrott’s wealth of experience, expert knowledge, dynamic working style and strong cruise line relationships will help lead the company into its next phase of growth.

“I am looking forward to the new challenge at Travelbag,” said Perrott. “With our growing team of cruise experts, we are constantly developing new ways to revolutionise the way in which we sell cruise. Drawing on my experience from both the B2B and B2C sides of the cruise industry, I hope to apply my learnings, new ideas and enthusiasm to take Travelbag’s cruise division to new heights. Together we will set and reach new targets to bring in the next generation of cruisers.”

Perrott caught the cruise bug in 2011 when she responded to a cruise.co.uk advert in a newspaper looking for new recruits. She quickly developed her sea-faring career and moved to the cruise repackaging business, Flexicruise, in 2014. Her expertise ranges from negotiating contracts ensuring the best deal for her customers, to developing new sales channels and techniques and expertly training the sales team.
