Zurvas heads to Greece

Athens-bAsed small ship cruise line Variety Cruises has appointed Jarrod Zurvas as its new Director of Global Sales, with the move seeing him relocate from Australia to Greece.

Zurvas (pictured in front of the Variety Cruises headquarters) joins the operator from his former role with Quark Expeditions, where he has been Director of Sales Asia Pacific for the last three years.

He’s also previously worked with Scenic, Carnival Australia and Cover-More Insurance.

Zurvas has now started his new position with Variety, telling Travel Daily he was very pleased to be taking up the opportunity with the company.

“With a fleet of 11 small ships hosting no more than 71 guests and an emphasis on an intimate yacht experience that brings the guest closer to the sea, environment, the destinations we visit and the communities within, it’s an honour to be part of such a market leader steeped in tradition and integrity,” he said.

Founded in 1968, Variety Cruises resumed sailing in the Greek Islands in Jun, but also offers voyages across the globe including in Tahiti, the Seychelles, the Middle East, the Caribbean and West Africa.

Variety Cruises is represented in Australia and New Zealand by Discover the World.
