Frank Del Rio, Jr. has joined Oceania Cruises as its new chief sales and marketing officer. He will be responsible for all sales and marketing activities on a global basis.
“I’m delighted to add Frank and his many talents to the already stellar team at Oceania Cruises,” said Howard Sherman, president and CEO of Oceania. “His passion, enthusiasm, and day-one familiarity with the brand, our guests, and our travel partners will take us from strength to strength.”
As chief sales and marketing officer, Del Rio, Jr. will lead the company’s sales teams based in Miami, Southampton, Sydney and Sao Paulo. His appointment marks a return to the company. He previously held positions at Oceania, Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. from 2003 to 2017. During that time Del Rio Jr. rose to the rank of senior vice president and led all aspects of port and destinations services, along with onboard revenue.
“I’m thrilled to be returning to a brand that I am so truly passionate about and is embedded in my DNA,” Del Rio Jr. said. “I’m also eager to reconnect with the best sales and marketing team in the industry. Oceania’s successes are often imitated but never replicated and I look forward to many more of these great successes as we evolve and grow the acclaimed Oceania Cruises brand.”
