Celebrity's Apple Woo, recently-appointed head of sales and marketing for the Asia region, told SCN, 'Celebrity Cruises awareness has increased in Asia as we increased our number of ships either homeporting or visiting throughout the region, including Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Japan and China.'
She added, 'this gives us an opportunity to showcase Celebrity Cruises to trade partners and VIPs to give them a greater understanding of our brand.'
Currenlty the number of Asian guests who sail with us is relatively small and therefore we are very focused on working with our trade partners to attract more affluent consumers, she remarked.
Celebrity Millennium which is currently in her fifth consecutive Asian season, is being deployed from Singapore, Hong Kong and Yokohama and featuring over 20 cruises ranging from six to 16 nights in North and Southeast Asia until May 2017.
