In its ongoing dedication to bolstering support for agents nationwide, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has welcomed two new field sales agents to its team.

“Right from the get-go I have been made to feel incredibly welcome. You can really tell it’s a company that cares about its people.

“How exciting it is to be working for one of the best cruise companies out there.”

In Shropshire, Katie has recently taken on the role of Account Executive, focusing on collaborating with key agent partners to enhance sales. Bringing over five years of travel industry expertise, which includes hands-on experience aboard cruise ships, Katie possesses a deep reservoir of knowledge and a strong enthusiasm for the cruise sector.

When asked what attracted her to Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, Katie said:

“There is something very special about working for a brand that has been sailing for 175 years and is steeped in family history.

“I believe that’s it’s important to maintain the traditions and elegance of cruising which is everything this brand encompasses.
