HURTIGRUTEN has bolstered its sales team for next year with the appointment of two Key Account Managers, Lauren Zischke (pictured left) and Rebecca Setchell (pictured right).
The two will bring their deep industry knowledge to drive Hurtigruten’s growth, with a focus on the development and supervision of new and existing relationships with travel advisors to help them boost sales and accelerate revenue.
Zischke and Setchel were both recognised at the National Travel Industry Awards recently for their contributions to the travel industry.
Before her appointment at Hurtigruten, Zischke held several senior business development and relationship management roles with TAG, Wyndham Destinations, and most recently APT.
She shares a passion for education and a track record of delivering above targets.
Setchell brings a wealth of experience from the corporate, luxury, and leisure sectors, with previous roles at AAT Kings and Bunnik Tours.
She is renowned for driving sales success and strategic partnerships both domestically and overseas.
“We have seen outstanding growth this year under the new independent and focused model for Hurtigruten, including product expansion across our comprehensive, owned Svalbard operation, expanded Nordic tour program, premium all-inclusive Signature cruise range with a doubling of capacity in 2026, as well as continued growth on our core coastal program,” Managing Director Damian Perry said.
