Royal Caribbean International has appointed a top-performing agent to its sales team to grow its Irish market.
Elaine Truesdale will start in the role of sales development manager on February 24 and will be based in Northern Ireland.
Truesdale has worked for a number of specialist agencies, including Oasis Travel’s specialist cruise store, Cruise Beyond.
She has also “consistently topped” the line’s sales incentive leaderboards and was the first agent to gain “Guru” status for completing the highest level of brand training on the learning and rewards platform, My Club Royal.
She will report directly to Jennifer Callister, Royal Caribbean International head of sales in Ireland.
Callister said: “We could not ask for anyone better to represent the Royal Caribbean brand in the Irish market.
“Elaine’s passion for our brand is evident through her impressive track record, consistently ranking at the top of our leaderboards in various travel partner initiatives.
“We are sure she will be a huge asset to the team and we are excited to see what she can bring to this role.”
Truesdale said: “I am very much looking forward to starting at Royal Caribbean later this month.
“An exciting aspect of the role is having the opportunity to pass on my enthusiasm and knowledge of the brand, gained from years of being an agent selling this fabulous product, as well as sailing onboard with my family.”
