HX’s expedition pre- and post-manager, Mary Schmoll, will rejoin PWL Group as head of ground and tour operations from April 8.

Hamburg-based Schmoll was PWL’s shore excursion and port operations manager from September 2017-November 2020, moving to HX in June 2021. 

She told Seatrade Cruise, ‘I‘m grateful to return to the PWL family! As I have worked in the ground handling and shore excursion team of PWL in the past, and could gain valuable experience at Hurtigruten Expeditions (HX) on the customer side, I am happy to get the opportunity to establish my experiences and grow with this new responsibility.’

Christopher Kock takes on new role

In addition, Christopher Kock has been named director of cruise and stevedoring operations. He has been with PWL since 2016 and was appointed its manager of cruise operations in January. 

‘I’m looking forward to the new challenges and the next steps in my career within the PWL Group,’ he said. ‘I’m also grateful for the company's trust in my personality and skills and hope for a great and continued successful future in the cruise industry.’ 

Kock and Schmoll will both attend Seatrade Cruise Global at the Miami Beach Convention Center next week, together with Coraly von Georg and Alexander Napp, at the Hamburg stand #2218.
