The company is expanding its outside sales department following record sales over the past year and as its fleet expands to 10 ships in 2018.

'Both Andy and Cindy are seasoned pros who can help meet the demands of our growing company,' said Susan Shultz-Gelino, director of sales.

Magistrale, heading the Northwest, California and Arizona, brings more than 30 years of experience in business management and sales. Past companies include AmaWaterways, TravelBound, Norwegian Cruise Line and Vacation.com.

Christen, leading the Southeast, also has more than 30 years of experience, including positions at Ponant, CroisiEurope, Uniworld and First European Cruises, among others.
