Anji Montgomerie to steer luxury cruise sales on both sides of the Tasman.

In a bold and timely move befitting a cruise line that’s never shied from thinking big, Regent Seven Seas Cruises has officially expanded the remit of its Queensland-based Business Development Manager, Anji Montgomerie, to include the New Zealand market.

Yes, folks—there’s a new high-seas liaison for Kiwis craving the luxurious life afloat. Her name is Anji.

Montgomerie, who only joined Regent Seven Seas Cruises in April this year, has wasted no time making waves in Queensland and the Northern Territory, so much so that she’s now been handed the keys to New Zealand’s luxury cruise trade. This responsibility hints at her prowess and the Regent’s ambitious regional plans.

“As Regent Seven Seas Cruises enters an exciting new phase with the launch of the ultra-luxury Seven Seas Prestige™ in 2026, I am thrilled to expand my role into New Zealand,” Montgomerie said, brimming with enthusiasm. “I welcome travel partners in the region to reach out immediately with any luxury sales support required.”

It’s the kind of confident, sleeves-up statement we’ve come to expect from Montgomerie, whose resume reads like a greatest hits of travel trade engagement. With more than 15 years in the industry—most recently managing agency relationships at the Globus Family of Brands—she brings depth and polish.

And while some may think cruising is all deckchairs and daiquiris, anyone in the industry knows it’s built on partnerships. Montgomerie’s expanded appointment signals Regent’s firm commitment to the Kiwi travel trade, particularly as the brand gears up for a high-profile year in 2026 with Seven Seas Prestige set to debut as the fleet’s sixth vessel and its most refined yet.

Lisa Pile, Regent’s Vice President of Sales and General Manager for Asia Pacific, quickly praised Montgomerie’s impact since joining the business.

“In a short space of time, Anji has proven to be a huge asset to our business in Queensland, bringing a deep understanding of the luxury travel industry to the role,” said Pile. “We are delighted that she has accepted her expanded role across the New Zealand market.”

Pile’s confidence isn’t misplaced. With Montgomerie now operating across Queensland and New Zealand, travel agents on both sides of the Tasman can expect a renewed focus on education, support, and plenty of Regent’s signature elegance to sprinkle across their client itineraries.

Based on the Gold Coast—though never far from her next regional visit—Montgomerie will be the primary point of contact for New Zealand’s travel professionals seeking guidance, support, or just someone who understands the nuanced desires of today’s high-net-worth cruise client.

And with Seven Seas Prestige™‘s 2026 debut promising 15 suite categories, multiple specialty restaurants, and next-generation design, it’s fair to say Montgomerie’s expanded brief couldn’t be better timed.

Travel advisors from Aotearoa keen to get ahead of the wave are encouraged to reach out via Regent’s sales channels or contact her directly at [email protected].

Because if there’s one thing Regent knows, it’s that luxury isn’t just in the product—it’s in the partnership.
