Sea Cloud Cruises is expanding its North American field sales team in an effort to grow its brand recognition among North American travel advisors.

Amy Kreston and Macen Stripling will both report to Kevin Smith, vice president of sales, and will focus on consortia, travel advisors, and groups.

“As Sea Cloud Cruises continues to adjust and tailor our onboard experience to North American guest preferences including new all-inclusive fares, the additions of Amy and Macen will help us to tell our story to travel advisors,” Smith said. “Sea Cloud Cruises is committed to this market, investing in talent to serve our advisor partners and look forward to welcoming both onboard.”

Based in San Diego, Kreston brings more than 10 years of experience in luxury vacation rental sales. Stripling, who is based in Dallas/Fort Worth, brings several years of experience including a six-year tenure at American Airlines Vacations, most recently serving as inside sales manager where she developed strong relationships with travel partners across North America.
