Norwegian Cruise Line Appoints Eamonn Ferrin as VP International Business
Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is strengthening its sales strategy with the appointment of Eamonn Ferrin as Vice President of International Business.
Ferrin will oversee NCL’s sales efforts outside of the US and Canada and grow the company’s international footprint by deepening existing travel relationships, reaping new business and further integrating international source markets into the company’s global business plan.
In this role, he will report into Todd Hamilton, NCL’s Senior Vice President of Sales.
“We are very excited for Eamonn to assume this role at such a pivotal time in our company’s history. Not only will we begin cruising this July, we are also opening a new chapter for NCL with the launch of our Prima Class, which will see the delivery of six next-generation vessels from 2022 until 2027,” said Hamilton.
Eamonn Ferrin is an industry veteran with more than 23 years of travel and hospitality experience. He has worked in a variety of divisional CEO, COO and Managing Director roles in the UK, Canada and internationally for brands including Air Canada, Holidaybreak and MyTravel.
Outside of NCL, Ferrin serves as a member of the CLIA Executive Committee and the CLIA Steering Group for the UK.
Ferrin joined the company in January 2019 as Vice President and Managing Director for the UK, Ireland, Israel, South Africa and Middle East. During that time, he expanded the UK’s position as the Miami-based Cruise Line’s leading international market through strategic investments designed to support the travel agent community as part of the company’s Partners First philosophy.
“Together with my new team and our valued travel partners, I look forward to continuing to expand our reach, capitalizing on the great global pent-up demand for cruising and the new opportunities on the horizon,” Ferrin said.
