Munetoshi Kurihara, general manager, Japan, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises -Based in Tokyo, Kurihara has lead Oceania Cruises and Regent’s sales efforts in Japan since 2023 with a strong background and established network in the luxury travel sector.
“Asia Pacific is one of the fastest growing regions for luxury and ultra-luxury cruising, with more affluent travellers who are eager to discover new destinations and exceptional experiences,” said Lisa Pile, vice president sales & general manager, Asia Pacific, Regent Seven Seas Cruises and vice president sales, Asia, Oceania Cruises. “I’m excited to strengthen our already excellent relationships with local travel partners and drive growth for both brands.”
Constance Seck said, “I am delighted to be back and cannot wait to start raising the profile of Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises in southeast Asia – a dynamic and diverse region with great potential for luxury cruise. I am especially looking forward to collaborating with our trade partners to grow the business and deliver exceptional experiences for our guests.”
These developments come at a time of exciting momentum for both brands. Oceania Cruises has recently launched its eighth ship, Oceania AlluraTM, while Regent will welcome the ultra-luxurious Seven Seas Prestige™ in late 2026.
