Steve Smotrys named Seabourn vice president, global sales

Steve Smotrys has been named as Seabourn’s new vice president, global sales. He replaces Chris Austin, previously head of global sales and marketing, who left earlier this month.

Smotry was previously vice president of sales and trade marketing, Cunard North America. He joined Princess Cruises in 2000 and has worked for Carnival Corporation ever since, leading teams in revenue management, market planning, shore excursions and sales.

“Steve and I have worked closely together over the past several years. He brings a deep understanding of the luxury market and the travel industry,” said Josh Leibowitz, president of Seabourn. “Many of our travel advisor partners know Steve well and we encourage them to join us in welcoming Steve to the Seabourn family.”
