Seaside Collection and Riverside Luxury Cruises have appointed Charlie Hewitt Davies as Managing Director UK.

Charlie joins from high-end tour operator Eden Luxury Travel, where she worked for 10 years, firstly as Executive Director Product and Sales, then as Product Director.

She will oversee Seaside Collection’s luxury product portfolio, which includes the Grand Hotel Residencia in Gran Canaria and the Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll, Maldives and Riverside Luxury Cruises, which currently operates on the Danube, Rhône and Saône.

She said: “Working closely and building relationships with luxury tour operators, travel agents and travel designers will be a key part of our sales strategy.”

Charlie’s appointment coincides with Stuart Perl stepping down as MD of Riverside Luxury Cruises, a year after being brought in to set up its UK office.
