Azamara on the hunt for fresh faces to join its Australian team

Following the success of its return to the Australian region as Azamara Quest and the high demand from its Australian customer base, the company known for its destination immersion experiences is recruiting for three roles designed to provide tailored sales support to key travel partners.

“Since resuming service with our four-ship fleet and making our long-awaited return to Australia, we have driven global growth across all markets,” Patrice Willoughby, chief sales officer, international of Azamara said.

“Our travel partners have been an integral piece to this growth, and we will continue to expand our team and enhance our offerings to better serve them.”

Azamara is now recruiting for the new contact centre positions due to open in February, along with a sales and marketing support executive, and a business development manager to help bolster market growth.

Following the recent appointment of travel industry veteran Victoria Chigwidden as director of sales – Australia and New Zealand, the Australia team will develop its own reservations team in Australia as part of an enhanced global contact centre which will be led by previous RCG Daragh Robbins.

Next month, the cruise line will also introduce its Versonix Seaware Touch booking platform, accessible through the entirely new Azamara Alliance travel partner program, which uses updated tools and technologies to create a seamless experience for trade partners.

Azamara Quest made its highly anticipated return to Australia on December 19, led by Captain Johannes Tysse and crew, where it sailed along the stunning coastline for a series of well attended country intensive voyages and will continue to immerse travellers in the region’s lush nature, exotic wildlife, and authentic culture through February.
