Uniworld Boutique River Cruises promoted Adena Wilson to VP national accounts, solely responsible for Uniworld national account sales and relationships.

'Having a single, supremely skilled executive directing our national account sales is good for Uniworld and, we are confident, even better for our travel advisor partners,' CEO Ellen Bettridge said. 'She called Wilson a 'consummate and award-winning  professional.'

Luxury cruise veteran

A 16-year luxury cruise veteran, prior to becoming VP national accounts, Wilson was director, national accounts, Western USA for The Velvet Collection, the division brought together to sell the luxury and premium brands of The Travel Corporation.

The Velvet Collection 'no longer necessary'

'Uniworld is still very much a proud member of TTC, financially solvent and debt-free, but The Velvet Collection, which was created in response to the pandemic, is no longer necessary,' Bettridge said. 'Travel is back and stronger than ever, and we are joining the TTC family of brands in reverting to sales professionals that are, once again, expert in their subject.'
