LISA Pile’s dual role with Regent Seven Seas Cruises (RSSC) and Oceania Cruises has been expanded, which will see her now serve as vice president & general manager for both brands.
The move, effective immediately, is aimed at strengthening both brands’ presence in the Asia Pacific region, the company said.
Pile (pictured) will oversee all commercial, sales, and strategic growth initiatives for the two cruise lines.
The move will see director of sales James Sitters continue to lead the Oceania team, reporting directly into Pile in her expanded role, the cruise line said.
“A key focus for me will be deepening our relationships with local travel partners, ensuring they have the tools, support, and insights needed to thrive,” enthused Pile.
“Together, we will drive meaningful growth for both brands and further strengthen our leadership in this rapidly expanding luxury market.”
Meanwhile, RSSC has revealed an exclusive new collection of land programs that are available to book pre- or post-voyage.
The shoreside tours are featured on sailings departing from this year, including on voyages in Australia, spanning six of RSSC’s seven ships.
These experiences cater to the growing desire to combine cruise and land holidays, giving guests the freedom to explore ports at an unhurried pace, and spend more meaningful time immersed in each destination.
Open for bookings now, the multi-day land programs, which come at an additional cost, must be booked no later than 90 days prior to sailing, with availability varying by departure date.
One of the highlights of the new land programs will be the three-day ‘Lizard Island Escape’, which will see guests overnight in Sydney after their cruise.
They will then enjoy two nights at the only ultra-luxury resort located directly on the Great Barrier Reef.
Meanwhile, the four-day ‘Gems of the Cote d’Azur’ departs from Monte Carlo on an itinerary to the French Riviera, where travellers will explore Monaco City, the destination’s old town, along with a scenic stop in the hilltop village of Eze.
Meanwhile, the five-day ‘British Countryside & Cuisine’ departs from London, and offers visits to Oxford, Beaulieu and Winchester, with highlights including the Winchester Cathedral. MS
