Sister cruise brands Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises have announced a new structure for their sales leadership in the UK and Ireland.
It aims to better position both brands in the British Isles for significant fleet expansions in the years ahead.
Overseeing the UK and Ireland sales teams for both brands is Paul Beale, who has been promoted to a newly created, dual-branded role, Vice President Sales UK & Ireland for Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
Beale will report to Steve Odell, who was appointed SVP, International and Consumer Sales for both the luxury and ultra-luxury cruise brands in March.
The new structure provides dual-branded strategic leadership, while also maintaining dedicated Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises teams with tailored day-to-day support to travel partners.
Reporting directly to Beale are Louise Craddock, Sales Director UK & Ireland – Oceania Cruises and Ed Lang, promoted to Sales Director UK & Ireland – Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
In addition, Georgia Lewis has been promoted to Key Account Manager, UK, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, reporting to Lang.
“I am excited to announce this new sales structure for our vitally important markets in the UK and Ireland, meaning we are now well-positioned to maintain our lead in the luxury and ultra luxury segments,” said Steve Odell.
The move comes as both cruise lines prepare to welcome new ships; Oceania Allura in July 2025; and Regent’s first new-generation ship Seven Seas Prestige in 2026.
Oceania Cruises’ first Project Quattro ship is also scheduled for delivery in 2027.
“It is an honour to accept this new role as we enter a very exciting period for both Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises,” said Paul Beale.
