The line has named Holly Sievers as manager of host and home-based accounts and also appointed Brett Draper as manager of corporate and incentive sales.
Sievers is responsible for training of host and home-based agency accounts as well as marketing and sales functions.
She has more than 20 years of travel industry experience in marketing and was most recently Southwest and Central region BDM at Exclusive Travel Group.

Draper joins MSC from Lindblad-National Geographic Expeditions and has more than a decade of experience in the cruise industry.
He was also charter service manager for Norwegian Cruise Line and event manager for Holland America Line.
"As we grow in the North American market, a key priority for MSC Cruises is ensuring we have dedicated teams focused on all distribution channels. With the home-based and MICE channels being extremely important and rapidly growing sectors for MSC, we couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome both Holly and Brett to our team," said Joe Jiffo, MSC Cruises USA senior vice president of sales.
