UK cruise expert appointed to Crystal’s new advisory council
UK cruise specialist Edwina Lonsdale has been appointed to Crystal’s new Partner Advisory Council (CPAC).
Lonsdale, who founded Mundy Cruising, which claims to be the UK’s very first cruise specialist, will join a group of 13 global travel partners on the CPAC.
Led by Carmen Roig, Crystal’s senior vice president of marketing and sales, the council will meet once a quarter to review Crystal’s strategic plan.
"As we continue to change the landscape of luxury travel with the expansion of the Crystal brand, it is more imperative than ever that we engage our expert partners for their invaluable insights and feedback," said Roig.
"We always strive to be a pleasure to do business with and we feel that an enhanced open dialogue between us will even further enhance our partnership as well as greatly impact our mutual businesses."
The CPAC’s first meeting will take place in Los Angeles in July.
