Seabourn has appointed Tom Andrews as director of sales for the UK and EMEA.

Andrews will take up the role in summer and will replace Wendy Lahmich, who leaves the company on July 1.

He will join Seabourn from Cunard where he currently holds the position of senior manager of commercial planning, having worked across both the Cunard and P&O Cruises brands during his six-year tenure at Carnival UK.

Seabourn said Andrews’ experience at Carnival UK makes him “ideally qualified” to lead its sales teams in the UK and EMEA regions, citing his “exceptional rapport-building and influencing skills” and ability to collaborate across several channels.

Lynn Narraway, vice-president of the UK and EMEA, said: “We are delighted to welcome Tom to the Seabourn family.

“During his time in sales, commercial planning and revenue management for Cunard and P&O Cruises, Tom has attained a wealth of experience and knowledge in all aspects needed for this important sales leadership role.

“His creativity, passion and strategic knowledge will be a great asset to Seabourn’s UK and Europe business.”

She added: “Tom will officially start his new role in midsummer 2024, at which time he will continue to maintain and develop the strong relationships we have built with our valued travel partners.”
