NORWEGIAN Cruise Line and Orient Lines, part of the Norwegian Cruise
Line Group, will combine their London sales, marketing and reservations
departments.
NCL’s Derry Street office will become the UK headquarters for the group,
including Star Cruises, with additional space made available for staff.
It is hoped that the move will create a strengthened management
structure for both brands in the UK. To support the restructure former Orient
Lines managing director David Yellow has been appointed NCL group managing
director.
Reporting to Yellow will be former Orient Lines vice-president sales and
marketing Chris Bailey, who becomes director of sales and passenger services,
and former NCL director sales and marketing Tim Harding, who becomes NCL group
marketing director.
