AmaWaterways to boost capacity on Nile in 2024 with new ship AmaLilia


Harry Kemble


AmaWaterways is set to add a second ship on the Nile to “meet the growing demand” for the line’s sailings in Egypt. The river cruise operator


currently has 72-passenger vessel AmaDahlia, which launched in


September 2021, but in 2024 AmaLilia will also enter service


for the line. Both vessels will operate the


11-night Secrets of Egypt & the Nile cruise-and-land itinerary, which includes a seven-night round-trip sailing from Luxor. The line said AmaLilia will


“be thoughtfully designed with regionally inspired decor, spacious staterooms and suites and a speciality restaurant included in the river cruise fare”.


Star Clippers to host five Italy educationals


Star Clippers will operate five educationals about Italy next month. The three-hour ‘Spotlight On…’ events will see agents make pizzas at Pizza Express branches and learn about Star Clippers’ product and Italy. The event dates are July 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14. To request a place, email agency.sales@starclippers.co.uk


We’ve seen such


wonderful interest in Egypt since we launched there


Kristin Karst, executive


vice-president and co-founder of AmaWaterways, said: “Egypt is one of the most fascinating destinations in the world and we’ve seen such wonderful interest from guests since we launched our first ship there in September 2021. “We look forward to


welcoming even more travellers to join us to experience the ancient wonders of Egypt.” AmaWaterways said further


details about AmaLilia would be announced soon. amawaterways.co.uk

SEE THE WORLD DIFFERENTLY WITH VIRGIN ATLANTIC


Hi there, I’m Rachel. I started at Virgin Atlantic as an apprentice in our retail stores, and over the last 12 years I’ve been able to grow and learn, moving up through roles to now heading the sales operations team.


Throughout my time here, I’ve always been encouraged


to stretch my skills, working in various teams across the business. This has opened up choices I may not have had on my career path if I’d worked elsewhere. The positive attitude and ethos I’ve encountered at Virgin has encouraged me to grab opportunities when they’ve come up. I feel hugely encouraged as a woman in a leadership role. I was able to climb the career ladder while having a family and creating a work-life balance that really worked for me. We’re always encouraged to be ourselves, to innovate, to think outside the box, and that means so much to me.


This incredible forward-thinking attitude shines through


in the products and services we bring to our customers. I know that everything we do has our customers at the very heart, and we’re always going above and beyond to deliver D EULOOLDQWO\ GLʞHUHQW H[SHULHQFH :H JHQXLQHO\ OLVWHQ WR IHHGEDFN DQG ʛQG ZD\V WR FRQWLQXDOO\ LPSURYH
