Cruise and Maritime Voyages today announced the expansion of its sales team with appointment of travel industry sales specialist Roz Young to the post of business development manager for Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah.

“We are fortunate to have someone of Roz’s caliber in this key role,” said John Dennis, Vice President, Sale & Marketing for Cruise & Maritime Voyages USA. “Her vast sales and industry knowledge will make her a great asset not only to our company, but also to travel advisors and group planners. She will significantly enhance our existing efforts in the region and provide us with a decisive competitive edge as we continue to unveil exciting new programs – like our novel soft expedition ‘Treasures of the Sea of Cortez’ that will celebrate its inaugural voyage in January 2020 as the first-ever cruise sailing round-trip from Rocky Point just outside of Arizona.”

Young’s professional career commenced in 1998 and includes a span of more than 20 years in numerous Sales & Marketing and Business Development roles for international brands such as Norwegian Cruise Line, Booking.com, and Enterprise Car Rental.

“I am thrilled to take on this sales role at Cruise and Maritime Voyages,” said Young. It is an exciting time to be part of this innovative brand’s growth as it continues on an upwards trajectory with expansion into new destinations, the launch of new offices worldwide, and the unveiling of exciting new cruise itineraries. CMV’s dynamic and forward-thinking global team gives us the flexibility to work with the industry in unique and positive ways beyond other brands in the industry, and I look forward increasing brand awareness throughout the region and helping advisors understand CMV’s product line as well as the vast benefits of booking with the brand. The cutting-edge programs and offerings for advisors we are presenting truly make it easy for them to do business with us and in helping them boost their revenues.”
