Princess Cruises promotes Walker to sales manager

Walker’s current role is Princess UK’s academy programme manager. She has worked for Carnival UK for seven years, and was previously a regional business manager. She will replace Shane Riley when he moves over to sister brands P&O Cruises and Cunard.

Walker will start the new position on February 22, reporting into Princess UK’s head of sales, Rachel Poultney. Walker will lead a team of six.

Poultney said:  “Sarah Jane has been an asset to Princess Cruises over the last three years and I couldn’t be more pleased that she is taking on this role.

“Her experience as a regional business manager means she couldn’t be better placed to be taking on the management of our fantastic academy team, developing a strategy that ensures Princess is the easiest cruise line for agents to do business with.”

Walker said: “Having been regional business manager, and most recently being dedicated to agent training as academy programme manager, I am delighted to have been appointed to this role.

“The academy team will continue our commitment to engaging, educating and motivating agent partners through a variety of platforms and I can’t wait to get started.”

Princess Cruises will be recruiting for Walker’s previous role.
