DEBRA Fox says she’s “absolutely delighted” at her recently announced new regional role as Executive Vice President of Trade Sales APAC for Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) and Crystal Cruises (CW breaking news).
The promotion, which also saw her reconfirmed as A&K Managing Director as part of a new unified global “One A&K” structure, comes a year after she was appointed to run the company locally – a period during which its owners purchased the assets of Crystal, including its brand and its two ocean-going ships (CW 09 Nov 2022).
“It is truly an exciting time at the A&K Travel Group as we continue to deliver on the One A&K Vision,” Fox said.
“My last 12 months at A&K have been exceptional, and my team and I look forward to continuing to work closely with our trade partners in delivering unparalleled travel experiences for their clients,” she said.
Tony Archbold remains in his current role as Vice President of Sales Crystal APAC, while Michelle Mickan’s job expands to encompass cruise as Vice President Marketing for both A&K and Crystal.
A&K also confirmed the retirement of Crystal CEO Jack Anderson (CW yesterday) with the global One A&K structure including a newly created Chief Sales Officer role across both the A&K and Crystal brands, to be filled by US-based Marett Taylor.
The new structure comes in the lead-up to the relaunch of Crystal Serenity, which will undertake her first post-COVID voyage later this month between Venice and Marseille after a multimillion dollar makeover.
