AmaWaterways, the river cruise line, has announced the appointment of Paul Sharp as business development manager, working alongside the existing UK team of Fay McCormack (General Manager, AmaWaterways UK), Natalie O’Mahoney (UK Sales Manager) and Hannah Logan (Sales Support Executive), the company said in a statement.

Previously, he has worked on board P&O Cruises as shore excursions manager for five years before returning to dry land to work for TUI and Carnival UK in sales. His most recent appointment was as head of sales for The River Cruise Line, a position that has given him an in-depth perspective on river cruising and allowed him to build excellent relationships with the travel trade.
