WHY IT RATES: The new role will see Galvan lead all of the luxury expedition cruise line's important sales efforts, including strengthening key partnerships.—Patrick Clarke, TravelPulse Senior Editor


Atlas Ocean Voyages announces the appointment of Isabel Galvan as Vice President of Global Business Development & Sales Strategy. In this newly created role, Galvan will lead all sales efforts, focusing on optimizing trade engagement, strengthening key travel partnerships, and driving business growth.

With extensive experience developing high-ROI sales and marketing programs, Galvan will oversee the consolidation of all Key and National Account partnership marketing efforts, ensuring tailored marketing and incentive programs that align with individual partner business models. Additionally, she will implement a restructured sales team, emphasizing high-performing agencies specializing in luxury expedition travel.

As part of this strategic transformation, Atlas Ocean Voyages is launching a dedicated internal business development team to enhance trade partner support and nurture emerging key accounts. These changes reinforce the company’s commitment to deepening relationships within the travel advisor community while expanding its market presence.

“This refined structure positions us for long-term success,” said James A. Rodriguez, President and CEO of Atlas Ocean Voyages. “By enhancing our engagement with key travel partners and streamlining our sales approach, we will continue to deliver exceptional results in the luxury expedition space.”

Travel advisors can expect targeted engagement and enhanced communication in the coming months as Atlas continues to refine its partner support strategies. This strategic evolution underscores Atlas Ocean Voyages’ dedication to innovation, growth, and unparalleled service in the expedition cruising industry.

As we navigate through this transition, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to Cathy Kusuma, our former VP of Sales, for her contributions to our organization. We acknowledge that she has departed from the company and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

Atlas Ocean Voyages is a luxury expedition cruise line offering immersive journeys to some of the most remote destinations on Earth, combining all-inclusive amenities, personalized service, and expert-led excursions for discerning travelers.
