Explora Journeys, the luxury lifestyle ocean travel brand of the MSC Group, has expanded its sales team for the UK and Ireland.
The company has announced the appointment of Koral Lipton to Business Relationship Expert; expanding the UK & Ireland sales team to five people.
Ms Lipton will directly report in to Priti Mehta, Head of Sales, UK and Ireland, and will be working closely with Business Relationship Leads, Jenny Wade and Andrew Schweitzer.
Ms Lipton will be responsible for Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland. Capitalising on her experience at APT Travel Group and Gold Medal / Travel 2, where she leveraged her contacts across these regions, she will be proactively supporting valued partners to educate and inform them on the new luxury offering that first set sail in August 2023.
Priti Mehta said: “The extension of our sales team demonstrates Explora Journeys’ dedication to the travel advisor community. We are thrilled to have Koral onboard to help foster more meaningful partnerships across the north of the UK, and the Republic of Ireland. We see strong growth potential in these regions and Koral’s appointment will help form closer relationships there.”
Ms Lipton will be assisting with training, brokering partnership agreements and overseeing tailored marketing activity amongst her network of travel advisors, both old and new.
With the launch of Explora Journey’s second ship, EXPLORA II, this August, Ms Lipton is joining at an exciting time as the company looks to launch a further four ships by 2028.
