Silversea Cruises today announced the appointment of cruise industry veteran Mark Conroy as head of the company’s Miami office, which has responsibility for the Americas.

“I have known, appreciated and respected Mark for more than twenty years and cannot hide my satisfaction in having him join us,” said Silversea’s chairman Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio. “He is an energetic leader with extensive knowledge of the cruise industry.”

“As of today, Mark will contribute greatly to the further growth of Silversea Cruises,” said Silversea CEO Enzo Visone. “Our expansion plans are well known. Our new ship, Silver Muse, is on schedule to join our fleet at the beginning of 2017, which together with our plans to refurbish and upgrade our existing vessels, will solidify our leadership position in the top segment of the cruise market. I am pleased to join Manfredi in welcoming Mark Conroy to Silversea Cruises.”
