Regent Seven Seas Cruises has announced Steve Odell has returned to the company, as Chief Sales Officer.

Steve officially re-joins the brand today, reporting to President Andrea DeMarco.

He left the cruise line a year ago, after seven years as Senior Vice President and Managing Director of the Asia Pacific region, and has spent much of the last year travelling.

He is currently based in Sydney, but is understood to be planning to relocate to Miami for the new role.

Steve held executive positions at Royal Viking Line and Celebrity Cruises in the UK before joining Silversea Cruises in the late 1990s, then moving to Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.
