Wood joins from the product management team at Cruise 1st and will report to head of key accounts Adam Sharp.
She said: "I was initially drawn to the cruise industry through a family member’s fond memories of working as a performer on board and this was something I also wanted to be part of.
“I have always been impressed by Royal Caribbean’s creative innovation, spectacular ships and extraordinary experiences both off and on board and I look forward to welcoming new generations of cruise fans in years to come.”
Sharp added: “Melanie demonstrates a real passion for the cruise industry and we’re excited to welcome her on board. Having previously worked for one of our key accounts, Melanie brings a unique perspective to the Royal Caribbean sales team, helping us develop our team into the industry’s best.’’
