After opening offices in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) has now opened two new sales offices in India in Mumbai and Delhi which will act as business development offices for the Indian market. Speaking on the sidelines of its India launch onboard the Seven Seas Voyager of Regent Seven Seas Cruises that was berthed at Port Ballard Pier in Mumbai yesterday (April 26), Steve Odell, Senior VP & MD (Asia Pacific), NCLH said, “These two new offices will have dedicated sales staff to support the travel industry here in India. Opening of the offices will help us to strengthen our reach in the Asian cruise market and also connect to the agents. Being face to face is critical when working with the travel agents as it helps them understand the product better. We will also be doing training programs, fam trips etc.”

NCLH also revealed that it will be investing US$ 525 million to upgrade their existing fleet to provide better service and experience to its passengers.
