MIAMI — Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises have announced a new global leadership structure designed to strengthen support for travel advisors across all markets and capitalize on the increasing appetite for luxury and ultra luxury cruising.
Effective immediately, Wesley D’Silva has been appointed President, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, reporting to Jason Montague who continues to lead the long-term strategic direction for both Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, as Chief Luxury Officer for both brands.
Meanwhile Nathan Hickman and Shawn Tubman have been appointed Chief Sales Officers for Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises respectively, overseeing global sales performance, travel advisor engagement and commercial development across all markets.
Montague said the strengthened leadership structure “positions us to accelerate our strategic plans to take both brands to new heights and support our travel advisor community with even greater focus. Travel advisors are integral to our success, and these organizational changes reflect our unwavering commitment to creating even more opportunity within the luxury and ultra-luxury cruise segments.”
