Boutique luxury cruise line SeaDream Yacht Club has named Kari Tarnowski vice president of marketing.

Tarnowski brings more than 30 years of cruise and travel industry experience in marketing, brand, revenue management, sales and reservations. Over the past two decades, she has held senior marketing roles at companies including Crystal Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Silversea, and also was part of the launch team for Hotels.com in 2002.
“I am truly excited to join a one-of-a-kind company like SeaDream. For me, this feels like coming home. I am returning to my roots in cruising, in a company with huge potential for further growth,” Tarnowski said. “The joy of cruising, for me, is in yachting. Small-ship experiences where the crew know your name and your favorite drink on the first day. Nothing can match the unique experience like that.”
Tarnowski is a graduate of Vanderbilt University and resides in South Florida with her two sons. She will start at SeaDream on Feb. 12, and report directly to Andreas Brynestad.
Tarnowski's appointment is the latest in a series of new senior and key appointments in SeaDream Yacht Club. Recent additions include Bob Becker as vice president-guest development, Mark Schmitt as sales director-UK and Ireland, and Rune Thomas Ege as senior vice president of communications.
“Welcoming Kari to SeaDream Yacht Club is a testament to our dedication to assembling a team of industry experts who share a collective commitment to elevating the standards of luxury cruising. Kari joins us in a time of growth, and her extensive experience perfectly aligns with our vision,” Brynestad said.

I DJ'd with a pile of scratched 78s, he took us to a party in an after-hours record store run by Russian émigrés, and we ended the morning at a techno night in the basement of a mansion block on Karl-Marx-Allee, sweating among the Stalinist decor.
