Boutique luxury cruise line SeaDream Yacht Club has appointed luxury cruise veteran Jarrod Zurvas as the company’s new Director of Sales for Asia-Pacific. Zurvas joins long-term representative Julie Denovan, strengthening SeaDream’s commitment to the APAC market.
Zurvas joins SeaDream from the luxury expedition branch of Captain Cook Cruises and brings more than 15 years of experience in senior roles in sales and marketing from cruise, travel, tourism and hospitality industries.
He will be based in Brisbane, Australia, and oversee all of SeaDream Yacht Club’s sales activities in Australia, New Zealand, as well as the wider Asia-Pacific region.
“Jarrod’s appointment underscores the strategic importance of the APAC market to SeaDream. He brings a proven track record of progressive accomplishments, a deep passion for small-ship cruising, and a wealth of experience to our growing team. We’re thrilled to welcome Jarrod to the SeaDream family”, said Andreas Brynestad of SeaDream Yacht Club.
Family owned and operated, SeaDream Yacht Club founded modern yacht cruising in 2001. Today, the boutique luxury cruise line offers distinct yachting adventures in the Caribbean, Northern Europe and Mediterranean on two small, newly upgraded yachts. With a 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio, guests can enjoy unprecedented service, unique all-inclusive culinary experiences and included activities such as watersports directly from the yachts.
“SeaDream is a perfect match for the APAC market, offering casual and modern luxury experiences that really resonate with guests from the region. With the small size of the yachts, more personalised service, unique destinations, and the yachting freedom, I see a huge potential for growth, not only for Australia and New Zealand, but in the wider APAC region,” said Zurvas.
His background includes an impressive line-up of luxury-, expedition-, and small-ship experiences. Over more than 15 years, Zurvas has worked with Captain Cook Cruises, Coral Expeditions, Variety Cruises, Quark Expeditions, Scenic Luxury Cruises, and more.
“Having followed SeaDream for years, I understand why it’s often referred to as ‘the best kept secret in cruising’. I am truly excited to finally be part of the team and contribute to the future success of a truly iconic brand in luxury and cruising”, said Zurvas.
The appointment of Zurvas, follows in the wake of several other senior appointments in SeaDream Yacht Club in the last 12 months.
