Sea Cloud Cruises, one of the world's most storied names in cruise travel, is expanding its field sales team in North America with the addition of new two sales managers.

The company announced Amy Kreston and Macen Stripling have joined the team to support efforts as the luxury boutique line continues expanding its footprint in the market. Reporting to Vice President of Sales Kevin Smith, Kreston and Stripling will focus on consortia, travel advisors and  groups. Sea Cloud Cruises recently earned preferred supplier status from Virtuoso Travel and Signature Travel Network earlier in 2024.

“As Sea Cloud Cruises continues to adjust and tailor our onboard experience to North American guest preferences including new all-inclusive fares, the additions of Amy and Macen will help us to tell our story to travel advisors,” shares Sea Cloud Cruises Vice President of Sales Kevin Smith. “Sea Cloud Cruises is committed to this market, investing in talent to serve our valued advisor partners and look forward to welcoming both onboard.”

Based in San Diego, Amy Kreston is  a seasoned sales professional in the hospitality industry with over 10 years of experience in luxury vacation rental sales. Bringing her expertise to the cruising sector,  Kreston will leverage her deep understanding of travel sales and marketing to build strong relationships and forge valuable partnerships in the dynamic world of cruising.

Located in Dallas/Fort Worth, Masen Stripling’s  career is highlighted by a six-year tenure at American Airlines Vacations, serving most recently as inside sales manager. Stripling has strong relationships with travel partners across North America.
