Small ship cruise specialist Haimark Lines has appointed former Hurtigruten ceo Hans Rood as its new president.
Rood was most recently executive vice president commercial for FleetPro Passenger Ship Management, and his career has also included roles with KLM, Royal Caribbean, Cunard and Holland America Line.
“His strong management, travel industry and cruise orientation, coupled with his award-winning development of sales strategies, branding and global sales and marketing efforts, make him uniquely suited to ensure the rapid growth of our distinctive Haimark river and ocean cruise programs in the Far East, Amazon, Great Lakes and Central and South America,” said Haimark managing partner Tom Markwell.
The company’s operations include coastal cruise operator Haimark Line in the Americas and Haimark Limited on the Mekong.
