Discovery and Swan Hellenic, All Leisure said in a statement. Patrick brings a wealth of cruise industry experience to All Leisure Holidays.
He has worked in key leadership roles for Royal Caribbean International,
Celebrity Cruises and most recently for Island Cruises. During his four years as
Managing Director at Island Cruises, Patrick significantly increased
profitability. Patrick has strong operational, planning and crisis management
experience and his appointment forms part of the Company’s long-term strategy to
build a highly skilled and professional team to take the Voyages of Discovery
and Swan Hellenic brands forward to the next level.Ryan will report directly into Ian Smith, Group Chief Executive of the All Leisure Group Plc. Ian Smith commenting on Ryan’s appointment said “We are pleased to appoint Patrick to this new role, given his deep knowledge of the cruise industry and we are confident that he will drive the continued growth of the two cruise brands within his portfolio”. In this new role Patrick will assume overall responsibility for the Swan Hellenic and the Voyages of Discovery Product, Planning and Shore Excursion teams. He is also the Director to whom the Masters of Minerva and Voyager will report.  Following this new appointment Tony Dyson will return to retirement from full
