The Hurtigruten Group has expanded its sales and marketing team and has internalized its public relations and communications.
Damian Perry, APAC's general manager, stated that the expanded team will serve the growing demand for the company's two brands: Hurtigruten and HX.
“As our business continues to evolve, we want to ensure we can better support our industry partners, agents, and consumers through Hurtigruten’s original Coastal Express and Premium Signature voyages, as well as HX expedition cruises,” Perry said.
“Furthermore, the internalization of our public relations and communications activities will help strengthen relationships with the media in the region“.
Kirsty Fruin will be based in Brisbane as Regional Sales Director for Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia.
Fruin, who emigrated from Scotland, previously worked for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines in the UK.
