Cruise Lines International Association has promoted former director for UK and Ireland, Andy Harmer, to senior vice president, membership.

Former vice president, strategic partnerships, Bo Larsen has also been promoted to senior vice president, strategic partnerships.

Harmer, who joined Clia in 2006, will be responsible for working with Clia leaders around the world to oversee all travel agent and professional development programmes.

Larsen, who joined Clia in 2014, will manage the strategic direction of Clia’s executive partner programme.

Both will serve under Clia president and chief executive, Cindy D’Aoust.

She said: “I am truly proud of both of these leaders, they have each demonstrated a key combination of expertise and leadership during their time with Clia and I am looking forward to working more closely with them in these expanded roles.

“Their presence in Europe will ensure complete alignment and execution across all global offices to continue to drive our industry forward.”

In addition to these two new roles, earlier this year Clia Global welcomed Arnold Donald, chief executive of Carnival Corporation, as Clia Global Chair, and Clia Europe welcomed Tom Fecke, as secretary general and Kyriakos Anastassiadis, chief executive of Celestyal Cruises, as chairman.
