Jason Worth heads international sales at Oceania Cruises

Currently VP sales and general manager, Asia Pacific, he'll take his new assignment with immediate effect and continue reporting to Nikki Upshaw, SVP global sales.

Worth has held various positions with the company since joining in 2011, including VP sales, Australia and New Zealand, from 2019 to 2022, and VP finance and accounting, Asia Pacific, at parent company Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.

'Nurturing relationships between our travel partners and our international sales team is at the heart of our business, helping us flourish over the past 20 years,' Upshaw said. Worth's appointment 'will play an equally important role in our growth plans for the next 20 years and beyond.'

Oversees UK, Europe, Latin America/Brazil and Asia Pacific

Worth will oversee sales teams in the UK, Europe, Latin America/Brazil and Asia Pacific, with the following Oceania Cruises direct reports: Louise Craddock, director of sales, UK and Ireland; Maik A. Schlüter, director of business development, DACH; Riet Goetschalckx, director of sales, CEMEA; James Sitters, director of sales, Australia and New Zealand; and James Thomas, sales operations manager.

With Worth's move, Sitters was promoted director of sales from business development manager.

Also reporting to Worth are Frank Medina, VP LATAM and Brazil, responsible for all three NCLH brands (Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises) in the region; as well as Constance Seck, director of sales, Southeast Asia; Holly Kong, director of sales, East Asia; and Chisato Morita, general manager, Japan, with the latter three dual-branded, overseeing both Oceania and Regent.

'With a vibrant and dynamic future ahead for Oceania Cruises, the revitalized international sales team, coupled with the invaluable support from our global travel partners, will ensure our award-winning brand continues to go from strength to strength,' said Frank A. Del Rio, president of Oceania Cruises.
