A respected figure in the industry, Smith brings to the role a lifetime of experience supporting and building the travel trade. His career spans leadership roles with Crystal Cruises, Silversea Cruises, and Virtuoso, where he played a pivotal role in developing trade and marketing strategies that helped shape the modern luxury cruise sector. Smith was inducted into the CLIA Hall of Fame in 2016.
In this newly created role, Smith will collaborate with Mirell Reyes, CEO of Sea Cloud Cruises North America, and Kevin Smith, chief sales officer, to strengthen brand visibility and engagement among North American travelers and travel advisors.
Smith’s appointment marks a key step in Sea Cloud Cruises’ efforts to deepen its presence in North America’s growing luxury cruise market.
