Neil Fitzgerald brings experience from Princess Cruises and Carnival UK
Princess Cruises veteran Neil Fitzgerald joined Lindblad Expeditions as director of pricing and revenue management.

He's tasked with developing innovative pricing strategies to maximize the revenue potential of Lindblad's portfolio of more than 500 annual voyages. As the company migrates to its new Versonix Seaware reservation platform, he also will oversee the rollout of a new dynamic pricing model.

Lindblad asserted both travel advisors and travelers will benefit from this new system, which will provide advanced inventory management capabilities to streamline reservations and provide advanced analytics for customer insight.

'Experienced, driven and accomplished'

'Neil is an experienced, driven and accomplished pricing and revenue professional. In this role, he will be instrumental in working with me to expand and lead our new revenue management function, helping us drive even higher occupancies and maximize revenue in the years to come,' said John Delaney, SVP sales and revenue management.

Fitzgerald brings more than 18 years of pricing and revenue experience. Until 2020, he served nearly nine years at Princess Cruises in various pricing and revenue management roles, including international revenue. Earlier, in more than six years at Carnival UK, he managed trade functions for P&O Cruises.
