Former Royal Caribbean national account manager Melanie Wood has returned to Cruise1st in a new role.
Wood joined the cruise line three years ago after working in the product team at the specialist agency.
She takes up the position of head of product at the Manchester-based company.
Her new job includes enabling the agency to put together exclusive offers, stopover tours and free hotel add-ons.
Managing director Dale Sourbutts said: “We are extremely pleased to welcome Melanie back to the team in the newly-created head of product role.
“Melanie’s experience and expertise with the cruise lines combined with her existing understanding of our business means that she will be a huge asset in helping to steer the future direction of the Cruise1st product team.”
Wood added: “It’s great to be back. With the launch of our new Live TV show, our plans to create even more unique, bespoke cruise products and experiences this year, our continued growth across ocean and river cruising and the ever-increasing cruise market, 2020 is going to be a big year for Cruise1st and I’m so excited to be part of it.”
