Norwegian Cruise Line has appointed Eamonn Ferrin as vice president and managing director for its UK, Ireland, Israel, South Africa and the Middle East markets.
The former Airtours sales and marketing director, MD of Holidaybreak’s Hotel Breaks division and Cruise.co.uk COO will oversee the sales, marketing, public relations and office operations for NCL in each region.
Reporting to Eamonn will be Nick Wilkinson, who will take on a newly created role as regional vice president of business development.
Ferrin will report directly to Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings’ president international, Harry Sommer.
Sommer said: "Eamonn’s appointment comes at an exciting time in our company’s history as we continue to strengthen our global footprint.
"The UK is our second largest source market globally, and Israel, South Africa and the Middle East are emerging markets that demonstrate enormous growth potential.
"Eamonn brings more than 20 years of senior-level experience in the travel and hospitality industry, and having him lead our operations in some of our most important international markets is a testament to our global growth strategy."
