Regent Seven Seas Appoints New Chief Sales Officer

Regent Seven Seas Cruises has appointed Steve Odell to the position of chief sales officer. 

Odell, a 35-year cruise industry veteran, will officially assume the role overseeing Regent’s sales team on Jan. 15. 

“I’m thrilled to welcome Steve back into the Regent family, whose insight, knowledge and contacts within the luxury travel space will continue to allow us to position Regent for long-term success,” said Andrea DeMarco, President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “Steve will be supported by an already strong team of sales leaders as we aim to empower and invest in our valued travel partners around the globe as together we take Regent to new heights.”   

Odell was previously Regent’s senior vice president and managing director of the Asia Pacific region for seven years, when he helped grow all of Norwegian’s brands in that market. He first started with Regent in 2015, then pivoted his role in 2019 to focus solely on sales for Regent and Oceania Cruises in the Asia Pacific region. 

“I couldn’t be happier to be returning to Regent at such an exciting time for the brand having just launched the sixth ship of The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet, Seven Seas Grandeur,” Odell said. “The growth of the Regent fleet represents a tremendous opportunity for our fantastic travel advisors around the world and I look forward to growing our luxury cruise business together.”
