He was previously Sales and Customer Services Director for Carnival UK/Complete Cruise Solution, the umbrella trade brand for P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises & Cunard Line, a position he held from 2008.

“This is a great opportunity to really make a difference at a crucial time for the business,” he said. “MSC is one of the world’s largest cruise lines and we need to ensure that our brand recognition in the UK and Ireland is in line with our market position.

“I have always admired the MSC Cruises brand, its European values and unique, stylish offering. I think there is a huge opportunity to develop the business and increase sales substantially in the UK and Ireland.
