Nash will further strengthen Explora Journeys’ senior leadership team with a career spanning more than two decades gained at ultra-luxury hospitality brands. Most recently, she served as chief commercial officer at Aman. During her 10-year tenure with the company, she also held the position of chief marketing officer and chief communications officer. Nash worked at Rosewood Hotels and Orient-Express prior to joining Aman in 2014.

In her new role as president of Explora Journeys, Nash will be responsible for driving the brand’s strategic vision and growth initiatives. Her extensive experience and leadership will be critical as Explora Journeys prepares to expand its fleet with the launch this week of Explora II, the second luxury ship in the brand’s collection, followed by four additional ships entering service from 2026 to 2028.
Nash said, “I am incredibly proud to join Explora Journeys at such a pivotal moment in its growth and development. The brand’s dedication to redefining the luxury ocean travel experience is inspiring, and I look forward to working closely with Mr. Vago and the talented team to continue building on this vision. Together, we will strive to create unforgettable journeys that resonate with discerning travelers around the world.”
