Celebrity Cruises has promoted head of sales Nicola McNeish to become its new UK and Ireland sales director.
Her appointment follows a shake-up of the cruise line’s senior management last month, which saw promotions for Giles Hawke and Claire Stirrup.
Hawke stepped up from his position as EMEA vice-president and managing director to assume the role of vice-president international, with responsibility for all regions outside North America.
The newly created role created a management structure mirroring that of sister line Royal Caribbean International.
EMEA senior sales director Stirrup moved up to become managing director UK and EMEA a year after she had her remit expanded as part of a team restructure.
McNeish has worked at Celebrity Cruises for more than 11 years, having previously worked for Thomas Cook Group.
A spokesperson for the cruise line said McNeish will be “overseeing all sales for the UK and Ireland under the leadership of EMEA managing director Claire Stirrup”.
