Leadership changes announced for Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCL) chief luxury officer Jason Montague  announced a number of leadership changes within Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises on Monday, 3rd March.

The new appointments follow in the wake of Montague’s own which puts him in a completely new role at NCL, one where he oversees both Oceania and Regent.

These include the appointment of new chief commercial officers for both cruise lines. 

Nathan Hickman steps up from his post as senior vice-president of marketing at Oceania Cruises to take on the role of the line’s chief commercial officer.

Meanwhile, Regent senior vice-president for revenue management Wes D’Silva will step into the same position for that line, expanding on the responsibilities of his previous role.

Both officials report directly to Montague and will take charge of their respective cruise line’s marketing and revenue management initiatives.
