Norwegian Cruise Line has appointed Marc-Antoine Kamel as the new National Director of Sales & Marketing, Canada.  Marc-Antoine will lead the Business Development Manager team and work closely with key partners to oversee all sales and business development functions in the country.  He will be based in Montreal.

“Working with our travel partners in Canada is a vital part of NCL’s overall strategy for North America.  Canada is a unique market, and Marc-Antoine’s blend of experience has him well poised to take our commitment to Canadian travel partners to new heights” said John Chernesky, senior vice president of North America sales for Norwegian Cruise Line. 

 In addition to time spent working within various businesses and the travel industry, Marc-Antoine takes significant pride in having spent 10 years as a travel advisor, and intends to bring NCL’s Partners First philosophy to new heights, says a statement from the company.  

 “Marc-Antoine has been an incredible brand advocate since day one, and a consistent champion for our agency partners since joining NCL in 2022. His commitment to excellence, strategic vision, and creative mindset has made him an incredible asset to the Canadian team,” said Katie Kania, senior director of agency sales for North America for Norwegian Cruise Line.

 In addition to leading the country's Business Development Managers and working with Norwegian's travel partners, Marc-Antoine will also be developing and implementing the overall country strategy and marketing plan to align with Norwegian's overall growth strategy.
