New head of sales for Princess Cruises
Princess Cruises has promoted Rachel Poultney to the position of head of sales.
She replaces Alex White who is moving over to sister brands P&O Cruises and Cunard in December to take the newly-created position of Carnival UK vice president of sales.
Poultney, 29, was previously sales manager for major accounts at the cruise line for three years, working with agents including TUI, Iglu and Bolsover Cruise Club.
Before that, she worked in sales and marketing roles for AviaCircle and Insight Vacations.
In her new role, Poultney will lead a 15-strong sales team split across office and field.
Princess Cruises is now recruiting for Poultney’s previous role.
