MIAMI — As part of Carnival Cruise Line’s expansion of its business development team, Justin French will become Regional Vice President, Canada and Northern U.S., maintaining his current role of managing Canada.

This move adds additional sales leadership presence to key metros in the Northern U.S., which helps the line expand its support to travel partners in these cruise markets.

French will continue to be based in Toronto. Given his expanded role in North America, his responsibilities in managing Carnival’s international business will move to Iain Baillie, who is now Vice President of U.K. and International Sales.

“Our goal is to reach as many agents as we can by offering them the best and most trusted sales support,” said Carnival’s Vice President of Sales & Trade Marketing Adolfo Perez. “These team enhancements allow us to work more closely with a significant number of agents and we look forward to the expertise these long time travel industry veterans will bring to these new markets.”
