Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH), operator of Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, is marking 10 years of growth and innovation in the Asia-Pacific region with the opening of its new Sydney office at Barangaroo. The tri-brand headquarters highlights the company’s decade-long commitment to the region.
Since establishing its first sales and marketing hub in Sydney in October 2015, NCLH has grown from around 20 employees to nearly 200 staff across sales, marketing, public relations, administrative services, and operations. The regional expansion has paralleled NCLH’s global fleet growth, from 22 ships in 2015 to 34 vessels in 2025, with 13 additional ships expected by 2036.
The company has developed a strong regional presence through partnerships with travel advisors, media, and industry stakeholders, offering a wide range of cruise experiences for travellers from Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. Over the past decade, NCLH has also established local call centres and strengthened regional operations to support its tri-brand strategy.
Looking ahead, NCLH plans to continue expanding its presence in the Asia-Pacific, offering diverse itineraries across Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific while supporting trade partners with training, resources, and events to ensure quality cruise experiences.
Steve Odell, senior vice president, international & consumer sales, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, said: “Celebrating 10 years since we opened our Asia-Pacific office is a proud moment for all of us. It’s been an incredible journey of growth, innovation, and partnership with our valued travel advisors. It’s especially meaningful to now be in our new Sydney home, which reflects not simply how far we’ve come, but where we’re headed.”
Ben Angell, vice president and managing director, Asia Pacific for NCL, added: “As we celebrate 10 years in Asia-Pacific, I’m especially proud of the strength and balance of our three brands working side-by-side. Together with our trade partners and our passionate local NCL team, we have built a thriving, collaborative environment. We are excited to continue evolving our presence, and the power of our tri-brand strategy ensures we can keep delivering exceptional cruise experiences for a diverse range of guests across Asia-Pacific.”
