Singapore, 29 September 2025 – Oceania Cruises, the world’s leading culinary- and destination-focused cruise line, and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, the world’s leading ultra-luxury cruise line, today announced an organisational restructure to support the two brands’ ambitious growth strategies in Asia Pacific.

Effective immediately, Lisa Pile, vice president and general manager, Asia Pacific for Regent Seven Seas Cruises, has assumed additional responsibility for Oceania Cruises in Asia.

“This strategic move reflects our strong commitment to Asia, enabling us to deliver tailored solutions and greater value while accelerating our growth across the region,” said Steve Odell, senior vice president international and consumer sales, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “By creating a dual-branded sales force in Asia under Lisa’s bold leadership, we will be better positioned to serve our trade partners and guests.”

Within the new sales structure, Lisa will be supported by three regional leaders, who are experts in their respective markets: 

Constance Seck, Director of Sales, Southeast Asia, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises – Based in Singapore, Seck has returned to the company to lead sales efforts for Southeast Asia.

With more than 7 years of experience with the company, Kong expands her remit to include Oceania Cruises once again, bringing deep knowledge of the luxury cruise segment.

Toshi Kurihara, General Manager, Japan, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises - Based in Tokyo, Kurihara has lead Oceania Cruises and Regent’s sales efforts in Japan since 2023 with a strong background and established network in the luxury travel sector.

“Asia Pacific is one of the fastest growing regions for luxury and ultra-luxury cruising, with more affluent travellers who are eager to discover new destinations and exceptional experiences,” said Lisa Pile, vice president sales & general manager, Asia Pacific, Regent Seven Seas Cruises and vice president sales, Asia, Oceania Cruises. “I’m excited to strengthen our already excellent relationships with local travel partners and drive growth for both brands.”

I am especially looking forward to collaborating with our trade partners to grow the business and deliver exceptional experiences for our guests.”
