TWO members of the Helloworld Travel cruise team, commercial relationship manager Jan Harrington and marketing manager Lauryn Woodward, have left the business in previous weeks, Cruise Weekly can reveal.
Harrington has not decided upon the next step in her career, while Woodward will be taking up a role outside the industry, CW understands.
The two departures follow another exit last month, which saw head of cruise growth Juliana Nasmith leave to take up a role as head of sales & operations for luxury cruise agency Panache Cruises.
Harrington has been in the cruise sector for more than 25 years, and had served in her role with Helloworld for more than three years.
She has also worked for Cruise Guru and Flight Centre Travel Group previously.
Woodward began in her role at the same time as Harrington, in Jan 2023, in what was her first job in the travel industry.
The company saw positive results for its cruise division at its most recent results announcement last month, with wholesale bookings up 17% in the first half of the year (CW 25 Feb).
Total cruise TTV in Australia was consistent with the prior corresponding period, Helloworld noted.
However chief operating officer Cinzia Burnes has noted slower bookings due to the Iran war (CW 12 Mar).
CW reached out to Helloworld for comment.
