Classic Collection's Emma Rodgers to join A-Rosa as northern RSM

In her new role, Rodgers will be tasked with growing A-Rosa’s presence and sales in the north of England, Scotland and Ireland, providing on-the-road and virtual support to agents.

She will be responsible for implementing sales strategy, developing marketing campaigns and providing product training to ensure agents are up-to-date on all the latest developments and products from A-Rosa.

Lucia Rowe, A-Rosa River Cruises managing director UK and Ireland, said: “We are really excited to welcome Emma into our small, but mighty team. Having worked both on the agent and operator side, she brings with her a real understanding of how to get the very best results from everyone involved in the sales process.

"She joins at an exciting time as our two new ships join the fleet in April and we can’t wait for her to get out and about to meet everyone."

Rodgers added: "I am absolutely thrilled to be back in river cruise, a sector that I am truly passionate about. I’m really looking forward to working closely with all of A-Rosa’s trade partners to help further grow this fantastic brand that has so much to shout about."
